PHEP Capability 7: Mass Care Sheltering The ability to coordinate with partner agencies to address the public health, medical, and mental/ behavioral health needs of those impacted by an incident at a congregate location. This capability includes the coordination of ongoing surveillance and assessment to ensure that health needs continue to be met as the incident evolves.

Most LHD s are involved in coordinating the staffing to support the ESF8 component of shelter operations. Most LHDs in Virginia have experience supporting local sheltering operations There has been excellent collaboration by LDHs with their local partners in many jurisdictions The efforts to create, build and maintain MRCs has and will continue to benefit shelter support First to report upon activation may be PH personnel Not all PHNs have skill sets/competencies needed for Special Medical Needs (SMN) section of shelters
