• Corporate Authors:
  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S). Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response.
• Description:
  In response to the deadly events of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent anthrax attacks, Congress established a new program to help health departments across the nation prepare for emergencies. Since then CDC’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) program has partnered with state, local, and territorial public health departments to prepare for, withstand, and recover from potentially devastating public health emergencies.
  
  Every year since, the PHEP program has provided vital resources to ensure communities can effectively respond to infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear events.
  
  In 2018, PHEP provided $620 million across public health departments to improve response readiness. Funds are also used to support epidemiologists (disease detectives), lab staff, planners, and
  
  other preparedness staff on the ground.
  
  In the future, CDC will continue supporting PHEP recipients by sharing technical expertise, best practices, and lessons learned, along with tools and resources to identify and address gaps.
