Episode 142: One Health - Balancing Human, Animal, and Environmental Health After Disaster
On this episode, we're veering a little bit away from the traditional emergency management topics to highlight and integrate a new approach to some potentially very difficult response situations. Today, we're diving into the One Health approach, a holistic strategy that aims to sustainably balance human, animal, and environmental health. One Health recognizes that the wellbeing of humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems are interconnected and interdependent. Historically, public health emergencies like disease outbreaks have focused on human medical responses. However, integrating human, animal, and environmental health considerations can lead to a more effective solution. So today, we'll explore examples of how One Health principles have been applied to increase resilience and reduce disease threats. And also provide a new perspective on the intersection of public health and emergency management.
