Abstract

In late 2017 and early 2018, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene deployed multiple teams to Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to support public health in those territories. This article is a description of how those teams were conceived, deployed, supported, and reintegrated into the agency. This was an unprecedented mission for our agency, and what follows is a reflection on what worked and what didn't work for us. It is our hope that other jurisdictions can use this information to organize and execute similar missions in the future, and that collectively we can continue to advance the field of public health preparedness and response.

摘要

2017 年末至 2018 年初，纽约市卫生局部署了多个团队前往波多黎各和美属维尔京群岛，以支持这些地区的公共卫生工作。本文介绍了这些团队的组建、部署、支持和重新融入机构的情况。这对我们机构来说是一次前所未有的任务，以下是对我们工作有效和无效的反思。我们希望其他司法管辖区能够利用这些信息在未来组织和执行类似的任务，并且我们可以共同继续推进公共卫生准备和应对领域的发展。
