• Description:
  The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is the federal program that provides states with medical assets in times of need. It is a vital resource during major incidents, and SNS planning concepts are used regularly for many public health activities. Public health agencies at all levels of government continue to develop practices and procedures to improve their SNS readiness. From information systems to track resource needs, to plans to manage inventory and dispense pills; state, local, and federal public health agencies are engaged in a variety of innovative efforts to meet the unique needs of their communities. This paper describes diverse approaches to SNS planning based on particular state circumstances and reveals common challenges and opportunities that inform improved SNS planning and all- hazards public health preparedness.
