Action Plans and Annual Reports

The key to the implementation success of the Florida Injury Prevention Strategic Plans are the development and use of annual action plans. These action plans, based on the strategic plan, are developed by the Injury Prevention Program and the Florida Injury Prevention Advisory Council, Strategic Plan Goal Team Leaders and Teams. At each Florida Injury Prevention Advisory Council meeting, the goal teams meet and collaborate on plan implementation. The action plans are reviewed and revised as necessary.

Community & State Resource Meeting Toolkit

Community & State Resource Meetings (Resource Meetings) were initially developed by the 2009–2013 Florida Injury Prevention Advisory Council, Goal Team 2 (Strategy 2B). Two pilot meetings where held; one in an urban region, Miami, and one in a rural region, the six rural counties served by the Tampa Poison Control Center.

The purpose of the Resource Meetings are to bring together the local injury prevention community to share information and to promote networking and collaboration between injury prevention organizations. It provides an opportunity for local organizations to share what they are doing within the community and to get to know the Florida Department of Health, Injury Prevention Program and how the state program can help further local injury prevention activities.

The goal of this toolkit is to provide reources for individuals and organizations that want to host a local Resource Meeting. The toolkit is comprised of information, planning documents, and resources developed during the two pilot Resource Meetings in Miami and Sebring, Florida.
