The nation’s readiness for public health emergencies is being discussed on May 29th at 2 PM ET by a panel of experts. They will examine the key findings of TFAH’s 2024 report, Ready or Not 2024: Protecting the Public’s Health from Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism.
The report highlights that there is an increasing number of infectious disease outbreaks and extreme weather events facing the nation. While there have been improvements in some areas of emergency preparedness, policymakers are not always learning from past emergencies. Additionally, funding cuts and health misinformation are putting decades of progress at risk. The recommendations from the report aim to address these issues and ensure that the public health system is better equipped to protect residents during emergencies.
Join the panel on May 29th to learn more about the findings of the report and contribute to the discussion on how to protect the public’s health in the face of diseases, disasters, and bioterrorism.
