Description
An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations."</strong></em></p>
<p>-Blythe Danner, American Actress<br /> <br />Public health focuses on protecting and improving the human condition, and prolonging life. It necessitates public investment in education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention, among others. Public health agencies at both state and local levels are central to effective public health and health care systems. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such systems involve “all public, private, and voluntary entities that contribute to the delivery of essential public health services within a jurisdiction.”</p>
<p>Elected officials and law enforcement officers play an important role in the development and regulation of public health and healthcare policy. A number of public health professionals, strive every day delivering services to protect the health of our families and communities, whether working in hospitals, nursing homes, emergency management services, schools or mental health facilities. Volunteers from charitable and philanthropic organizations also contribute a lot to ensure that public health and health care goals are met in places where resource constraints might present impediments. CDC also places emphasis on the important role of youth development organizations, recreation and arts-related organizations in supporting public health.</p>
<p>CDC has formulated a set of 10 essential public health and health care services that provide the framework for determining how well a jurisdiction is doing at assessing the performance of its system. Broadly these fit under policy development, assurance, and assessment. They include monitoring the public’s health status, investigating and diagnosing health problems, public awareness, enforcing laws and regulations that support public health and health care efforts, assuring a competent workforce, and continuous research and innovation to keep abreast of health problems.</p>
In the additional resources section to the right is a collection of related public service narratives <em>"Ask me why I care,"</em>under <em>"Tell your story." </em>They were curated by the University of Nebraska at Omaha College of Public Affairs and Community Service in a Public Service Stories Project. Project Co-Directors are Dr. Mary Hamilton and Ms. Rita Paskowitz. The collection includes videos and <a href="http://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-public-affairs-and-community-service/community-engagement/pss-health-human-services.php"><strong>Suggested Assignments for Students</strong></a>.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This poster not only brings awareness to the importance of safe drinking water, but it also encourages the public to get involved and take action, reminding them that “we’re all in this together.” It was issued by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2003.</p>
In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to protect and regulate our public water supply. Water sources, such as springs, rivers, lakes, and ground water wells are also protected under this legislation. This law allows the EPA to set protective standards against contaminants (both manmade and naturally occurring).<br /> <br />When it was first implemented, the SDWA's main focus was water treatment. Amendments made in 1996 introduced source protection, water system improvements, and operator training, therefore monitoring the water supply from source to faucet.<br /> <br />All public water supplies (more than 170,000) within the United States are covered by the SDWA. It is enforced not only by the EPA, but also the public, states, and tribes. Under this law, National Primary Drinking Water Regulations have been established, which set maximum contaminant levels and testing requirements.<br /> <br />As chemicals, wastes and pesticides continue to threaten our water supply, our sources must continually protected. Programs are in place to help keep pollution out of water systems, and, thanks to the SDWA, national standards can be legally enforced. The public is also regularly informed through annual reports.
