Emergency Preparedness and Response

Our Vision:
Every person and level of government has a responsibility to prepare for and respond in the event of a natural or man-caused emergency. Preparation requires every nation, every city, every business, every school, every hospital, every clinic, every church, and every household to have a plan and continuously improve it. And the key to success will be collaboration.

Collaboration requires clear roles and responsibilities, extensive communication and complete transparency. In the case of pandemic preparedness, accurate and shared surveillance is also required. We need to constantly refine these components and continuously improve our readiness.

Levels of government have an indispensable role. The federal government should do things that no individual state can do on its own. Capacity building, research and development and coordination are among these responsibilities. State and local governments vary economically, demographically and geographically. Each level of local government knows their communities and understands their unique needs. It is the melding of federal, state, local and individual efforts that will optimize emergency preparedness and response.
