SERVING THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA

The mission of the Institute for Health Management and Mass Destruction Defense (IHMD) is to reduce the casualties and social disruption from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) events and natural disasters through engagement in planning, mitigation, risk analysis, professional training, and the development of response capabilities and infrastructure. With a focus on medical training, mass casualty planning and response, and information technology applications, this Institute is an extension of the previous federally-funded Center (2002-2007), the Center for Mass Destruction Defense (CMADD), which was part of the national network of Public Health Preparedness Centers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The IHMD is working with state and federal organizations as well as private partners to develop a coordinated research and training program for standardized mass casualty healthcare nationwide, with a focus on medical training, mass casualty planning and response, and information technology applications.
