Bioterrorism Response Report
Remember Ebola, H1N1, bird flu, and SARS? Our preparedness was not so hot (some would say it was outright terrible). Well, the InterAgency Board (IAB) published a new document, "A Proposed Model for Bioterrorism Response: Initial Operations and Characterization," which may be of interest to your organization. The IAB proposes a model for a biothreat response capability that brings together public safety jurisdictions, federal resources, processes, standards, and doctrine to support the creation of a network of locally owned and operated validated bioterrorism response teams. See the report here.
