The On the Safe Side - A Security Planning Toolkit for Public Health Emergencies is designed to give preparedness planners easy access to documents they will need to:

• Design and host a law enforcement and healthcare workshop;
• Develop a hospital security plan for medical surge and other emergencies;
• Develop a point of dispensing site security and traffic management plan;
• Design and host a security-based tabletop exercise.

The toolkit addresses elements of three target capabilities outlined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security:

• Public Safety and Security
• Medical Surge
• Mass Prophylaxis
