Noelte KC , Kosmos C , McWhorter A . Health Secur 2023 21 S89-S94 Since its inception following the events of September 11, 2001, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of State and Local Readiness (DSLR) has supported the development and sustainability of response-ready state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health departments through the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) program.1,2 The program's cooperative agreements provide guidance, funding, field staff, technical assistance, and resources to 62 response-ready public health departments across the nation. The program is grounded in the 15 public health emergency preparedness and response capabilities, outlined in Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Capabilities: National Standards for State, Local Tribal, and Territorial Public Health,3 which serve as national standards for public health readiness and provide a blueprint that guides the development of STLT preparedness programs nationwide. | | Recipients of the cooperative agreements have credited these preparedness and response capabilities and the dedicated PHEP program funding with creating a strong foundation that readies jurisdictions for all types of public health emergencies, from localized events, such as small-scale disease outbreaks, weather-related events, and environmental hazards, to large-scale catastrophic events such as global pandemics.4 The scale, scope, and complexity of the COVID-19 pandemic challenged even the most prepared jurisdictions. |
