I recently was on the Center of Disease Control and Prevention's website and found that they have a part of it dedicated to preparing people for emerging health threats. It's very interesting to look through all of the resources that they have. I learned a lot as I did so and hope that it will help me to be better prepared with regards to health. They speak of issues that are important to learn about wherever you might be living.
On the webpage it states: "Preparing people for emerging health threats is one of CDC's overarching goals. CDC contributes to national, state, and local efforts to prepare for and prevent public health disasters before they occur. When a disaster has occurred, CDC is prepared to respond and support national, state, and local partners in responding in order to improve public health outcomes. After response to a disaster has ended, CDC assists national, state, and local partners in the recovery and restoration of public health functions."
