There is a critical need in NATO countries for better communication in public health and prevention across countries. In addition, there is a very important need to cooperate, communicate, and educate among the different “silos” of information including public health in academia, public health centers, ministries of health, the military and industry. The technologies used to share information now among groups are in many ways not much different than those used 50 years ago. We propose that we need to establish a Prevention Supercourse for NATO countries so that we can seamlessly share prevention information across our “stove piped” prevention information systems. For example, should an earthquake hammer Latvia, it would be essential to obtain the best possible information about earthquakes from the military in France, the Red Cross in Italy, and structural engineers in Estonia. Building a NATO network for disasters and prevention would produce rapid sharing of information for the emergency response as well as educational materials which could reduce the “epidemiology of fear.” In the current paper we outline how this could be constructed.
