KOIN workshops are conducted annually at several locations across the state. The purpose of the workshops is to provide an orientation to new or prospective members and provide current members with updates concerning public health preparedness for vulnerable or at-risk poulations. Ideas for new materials and resources are welcomed to support KOIN member roles and their ability to communicate during emergencies.
