Whether natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or deliberate attacks, CDC provides critical data, people, funds, and training to improve state and local preparedness capabilities. The Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (PHPR) is committed to strengthening the nation’s health security by saving lives and protecting against public health threats, whether at home or abroad, natural or man-made.
