PUBLIC HEALTH

PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE

2018 NATIONAL SNAPSHOT

As stewards of public health we remain committed to a common defense of our country ? from infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and man-made threats. We must stay true to the science that informs our evidence-based practices and programs that protect communities from threats. We must be guided by surveillance, which helps identify new and emerging disease threats and predict when and where the next public health emergency might happen. And finally, we must always return to the core value of service to our citizens here at home and people around the globe.

-- Stephen Redd, MD RADM, USPHS
