The Center for Emergency Care and Disaster Preparedness (CECDP), housed in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), was formed in June of 2000 to address issues associated with preparation for biological terrorist attacks, public health emergencies, and emergency medical care, such as acute cardiovascular health and neurological issues, through broad-based, multidisciplinary research, training, and service programs. The leadership of the CECDP desires to incorporate a wide range of activities that will contribute to the preparedness of communities for the smaller disasters which occur daily and to enhance preparedness that will save lives and contribute to improved community emergency healthcare. While the CECDP focuses on cardiovascular, neurological, and disaster preparedness, it considers all emergency medicine research areas as potential opportunities for collaborative efforts.
