BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
activities, the Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) activities, Pandemic Influenza preparedness
and ASPR Hospital Preparedness Program activities. The goals of the Public Health
Emergency Preparedness Comprehensive Program include, but are not limited to, increasing
the use and development of interventions know to prevent human illness from chemical,
biological, radiological agents, and naturally occurring health threats; decreasing the time
needed to classify health events as terrorism or naturally occurring in partnership with other
agencies; improving the timeliness and accuracy of information obtained from routing
surveillance and, where applicable, from analysis of non-traditional sources of health data,
regarding threats to the public’s health; decreasing the time needed to provide
countermeasures and health guidance to those affected by threats to the public’s health; and
decreasing the time needed to implement recommendations from after-action reports
following threats to the public’s health.
Approval of Agreement #28-700-7 will provide continuous funding for the Public Health
Emergency Preparedness Comprehensive Program, through August 9, 2010, including
agreeing to indemnify the State for claims arising with respect to intellectual property,
which result directly or indirectly from this agreement.
