Recommendations. Background. Building on early progress: recommendations of the working group. 1. The government should define public health preparedness more clearly and develop minimum national standards. 2. Federal and state public health officials, in cooperation with
experts in public health, should define what local public health capabilities should be. 3. Laws governing how responses to public health emergencies and public health investigations are conducted must be modernized. 4. The public health workforce needs to be enlarged and its skills
upgraded. 5. To sustain improvements in the public health system, the flow of federal and state funding must continue without interruption. 6. A balance must be struck between preparing for a biological attack and maintaining and expanding other vital functions of the public health system. Notes.
