National Health
Security Preparedness Index Call for Measures
The Program Management Office for
the National Health Security Preparedness Index is now soliciting recommendations for new measures to be
incorporated into future versions of the Index.
The Index provides a tool for
assessing and improving the nation's readiness for large-scale health threats,
disasters, and emergencies.
Stakeholders having scientific or operational
knowledge about strategies for reducing the impact of large-scale hazards,
disasters, and emergencies on human health and wellbeing are invited to
recommend new measures for inclusion in the Index.
New measures that reflect
social, economic, or environmental dimensions of preparedness and resilience
are especially encouraged. Recommendations to change or eliminate existing
measure definitions and specifications are also welcome.
Recommendations must be received by
February 15, 2015 to be considered for the next iteration of the
Index. View the 2014 version of the Index and its associated documentation at nhspi.org.
