Reporting on Public Health Preparedness

Fire and Smoke from airCDC is committed to publicly reporting on the progress that state and local health departments are making in public health preparedness and response. The agency’s investments in preparedness and response have resulted in significant accomplishments at the federal, state, and local levels, but many challenges still remain. CDC’s preparedness reports demonstrate results, drive program improvements, and increase accountability for federal investments. For more details on CDC preparedness and response efforts and to view state- and locality-specific data, see the reports described below.
