Public Health Preparedness, Emergency Response and the CDC

Public Health Preparedness, Emergency Response and the CDC Synopsis

Reports on public health preparedness are an important part of the CDC's (Center for Disease Control) overall focus on demonstrating results, driving program improvements, and increasing accountability for the nation's investment in public health preparedness. This book presents data on preparedness activities taking place at state and local health departments within the United States. States, localities, Congress and other policymakers can use this information to broaden their knowledge about progress and gaps in preparedness activities across their jurisdictions and throughout the nation.
