Description:In accordance with Presidential Decision Directive 39, the CDC, the FBI and APHL formed the LRN in 1999. This network is the nation's premier system for identifying, testing and characterizing potential agents of biological and chemical terrorism. The LRN's vast, integrated network of state and local public health, federal, military and international laboratories enables it to respond quickly to all-hazards threats. State and local public health laboratories comprise approximately 70% of the 160 LRN Biological Reference Laboratories and almost 100% of the LRN Chemical Laboratories. These laboratories produce high-confidence test results that are the basis for threat analysis and intervention by both public health and law enforcement authorities.
This report was supported by Cooperative Agreement #U60HM000803 from CDC. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of CDC.
