About Elizabeth Vierra Hall
Elizabeth has been involved in emergency preparedness since 2007, beginning as the Emergency Response Assistant for the Kings County Emergency Preparedness Program. As the Emergency Response Assistant, Elizabeth’s duties were composed of a variation of support and participation methods to augment the continuity of emergency planning and response, as well as the implementation and development of a coordinated response to all hazards, which may have threaten Kings County. A large part of this was in the development of partnerships, as well as developing, collecting and maintaining statistical data, community resources, committees and working groups that collaborate for the betterment of Kings County. Along with managing crucial department documents, Elizabeth also managed training materials and resources published and collected for dissemination by the Office of Emergency Management.
Elizabeth was also the Department’s event manager/coordinator as well as the Logistics lead for community meetings, exercises and trainings and supports Department and County administrative bodies while planning, responding and recovering from any and all emergencies.
As acting #2 HAN Coordinator for CAHAN (California Health Alert Network), a secure web-based system for emergencies, planning and response communication of public health partners, she was responsible for keeping all data on the CAHAN users within Kings County. CAHAN is a critical link between State agencies, local jurisdictions and public health emergencies partners.
As the need for emergency preparedness information grew, what started out as a simple Preparedness Fact meant for regional stakeholders only, became a catalyst first for a weekly online article followed by a local newspaper picking up the stories and publishing on a weekly basis to the community of Kings County. Elizabeth became the creator of the “Preparedness Fact of the Week”, a weekly tip geared towards work-place, community and personal planning and preparedness, and was well received by the community as interesting updated information for the now on preparedness. The articles lead to several speaking engagements and demonstrations.
In March of 2010, Elizabeth was promoted to Emergency Services Specialist where she worked until 2013. The role of Emergency Services Specialist was to assist the County's Emergency Services Manager in the overall administration and coordination of the County's preparedness and emergency response plan for disaster relief, other public health threats or related health emergencies, and general emergency response efforts.
