• Description:
  CDC’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) program is a critical source of funding, guidance, and technical assistance for jurisdictional public health agencies to strengthen their public health preparedness capabilities and improve their response readiness. The PHEP program helps communities nationwide prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health threats and save lives when a public health emergency occurs.
  
  The COVID-19 pandemic created a unique opportunity for CDC to assess public health’s readiness to respond to a national emergency. CDC’s PHEP COVID-19 evaluation reviewed select activities conducted between July 2021 and June 2022 to assess how they contributed to the national COVID-19 pandemic response.
  
  This report highlights PHEP recipients’ reported performance based on national capability standards applied during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as performance of vaccine roll-out activities and partner collaboration. The following figure summarizes PHEP recipients’ performance assessment by capability domains.
