• Description:
  This is a unique time for public health preparedness. The response to an unprecedented pandemic coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) program. The confluence presents a singular opportunity to examine how the preparedness community can learn from past response efforts and better position communities to meet the challenges that lay ahead. A new report by National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) gives voice to our members on the evolution of PHEP and offers a framework to guide future action. A concerted effort at all levels will be necessary to implement changes that will bring about more ready and resilient communities.
