Public Health Emergency Response: Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response

The intent of this program is to fund state, local, and territorial public health departments for HHS Secretarial declared and non-declared public health emergencies having an overwhelming impact on jurisdictional resources. These emergencies require federal support to effectively respond to, manage, and address a significant public health threat. CDC seeks to enhance the Nation�s ability to rapidly mobilize and respond to specific public health crises or emergencies. In addition to immediate response activities, this program provides a mechanism to accelerate readiness for an impending infectious disease threat or other public health crises identified on the event horizon.
