Cross Cutting : Emergency Preparedness

CSTE members have represented CSTE in a number of meetings and workgroups related to bioterrorism and emergency preparedness in the past, such as CDC’s OPHPR Board of Scientific Counselors, ASTHO’s Preparedness Policy Committee, the CDC OPHPR/HHS ASPR Preparedness Performance Measures, and the National Health Security Preparedness Index, among others. The Public Health Emergency Preparedness Subcommittee focuses on the epidemiology and surveillance-related aspects of public health emergency preparedness. The subcommittee’s goals are to:

Serve as a venue to share, update, and inform colleagues of the latest information on public health emergency preparedness
Share best practices
Shape CSTE’s response to events or incidents and address special projects
Develop position statements for emergency preparedness-related topics

Current Activities:
The Subcommittee is currently collecting feedback on PHEP Performance Measures for Budget Period 11 to aid in the revision of the guidance for these measures.
