Legal Issues for Volunteers Responding to Disasters


Listen Later

Elizabeth Van Nostrand is an associate professor in the Department of Health Services Administration and Policy at the Temple University College of Public Health. Van Nostrand is an expert in legal epidemiology—the study and application of law as an intervention to prevent disease and injury. She is the co-author of three public health emergency law bench books for health departments in the District of Columbia, Louisiana and Pennsylvania.

Through a CDC-funded grant, Van Nostrand created the Emergency Law Inventory (ELI), a tool for volunteers engaged in disaster response to navigate responder laws across the United States. She received the National Partner Award from the Medical Reserve Corps (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) and two awards from the University of Pittsburgh's Innovation Institute for the development of ELI. In 2022, Van Nostrand received a second grant from the CDC to update ELI’s content.
