The stockpile is a repository of antibiotics, chemical antidotes, antitoxins, vaccines, antiviral drugs, and other medical material organized to respond to a spectrum of public health threats. Over time, the mission of the SNS has informally evolved to address other large-scale catastrophes, such as hurricanes or outbreaks of pandemic disease, and rare acute events, such as earthquakes or terror attacks. When disaster strikes, states can request deployment of SNS assets to augment resources available to state, local, tribal, or territorial public health agencies. CDC works with federal, state, and local health officials to identify and address their specific needs and, according to the stated mission of the SNS, ensure that the right resources reach the right place at the right time"--Publisher's description.Emergency managementUnited StatesCongressesMedical suppliesUnited StatesManagementCongressesDisaster medicineUnited StatesManagementCongressesUnited StatesUnited StatesfastEmergency managementMedical suppliesManagementDisaster medicineManagement352.67Mack AlisonNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Board on Health Sciences Policy.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824984803321Impact of the global medical supply chain on SNS operations and communications3985560UNINA
