Our world’s growing population, coupled with more people moving to large urban areas, has elevated the role of public health in protecting and improving community health through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, research for disease and injury prevention, and control of infectious diseases. Furthermore, with the heightened attention to the potential for bioterrorism and natural disasters, public health organizations have joined other emergency responders in efforts to ensure that response is both timely and appropriate. The increasing importance of public health agencies has resulted in an increase in federal regulations and guidance, and an increasing expectations for both Local and State Public Health departments to comply with these requirements. However, despite the necessity, public health preparedness programs are challenged by the dwindling availability and the natural attrition of resources that are needed to maintain, let alone elevate, our state of preparedness.
