The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of Public Health Preparedness yesterday released a report that assesses state and local preparedness to handle public health emergencies as well as the CDC’s response to public threats.

According to the report, 2013-2014 National Snapshot of Public Health Preparedness, the CDC supported multiple state and local public health responses between 2012-2013, helping to strengthen the front lines of public health defense and bolster the nation’s health security. The report also discusses how to better prevent the leading causes of illness, injury, disability and death and strengthen public health through collabora­tion with healthcare providers.

The report includes fact sheets about the 50 states and large metropolitan areas including New York City. The report also includes summaries about the responses to Hurricane Sandy, the West Nile Virus outbreak in Texas, the tornado in Joplin, Mo., and the Super Bowl preparation in New Orleans.
