Profile in Public Health Law Interview with Emily Wang, MD, MAS; Director, Health Justice Lab; Transitions Clinic Network Co-Founder, Connecticut; Associate Professor of Medicine, Yale University The Tribal Legal Preparedness Project Public health emergencies are issues every community faces. It is critical for all jurisdictions to understand how law can be used to enhance public health preparedness, as well as to improve coordination and collaboration across jurisdictions. As sovereign entities, tribal governments have the authority to create their own laws and take steps to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies. This project was established to assist tribal nations interested in expanding their legal preparedness capacity.
