Bipartisan Legislation Introduced To Expand Federal Disaster Resources
By Madeline Wreford on 8th February, 2011
Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) and Congressman Edolphus “Ed” Towns (NY-10) both recognize that a centerpiece of emergency response can be health care during and post crisis; and in order to strengthen the medical response capability during natural disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks have introduced the Dental Emergency Responder Act, H.R. 570.
While dentists receive a general medical training background during their professional education, the National Health Security Strategy leaves out dental health facilities and dentists in the emergency response plan. In addition, dental schools have at times been denied the ability to play a role in disaster preparedness.
