Evaluation of Disaster Education from a Pedagogical and Andragogical (Adult Learning Theory) Perspective and Recommendations

curriculum which offers continuing education credits to earn Basic and an Advanced level certifications. The courses introduce disaster health information, its uses, and potential roles for those interested in participating in disaster health information-related activities. Monthly webinars are offered to supplement these courses and provide an opportunity to host subject matter experts to speak on health information for specific events, or to present new or updated tools and resources that can assist disaster information specialists in their daily work. The community of practice helps information specialists develop relationships with others trained in searching and evaluation of disaster health information. The knowledge gained through these interactions, and from the training opportunities, provides them with tools and information to help their own communities in preparedness, response, and recovery activities. Results: As of October 2016, 66 people in 20 states and three internationally-based persons have earned a Disaster Information Specialization certificate from the Medical Library Association. Conclusion: The program has been instrumental in providing a cadre of responsive individuals, across the United States and beyond, who are involved in preparing and providing health information before, during, and after disasters.
