Abstract:
|
The issuance of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 21 in October 2007 established the need for frequent and informed discussion of issues centering on cross-agency collaborative efforts directed at a national strategy for public health and medical preparedness. This roundtable is intended to promote acquisition of the means and development of the statistical data and systems that will enhance our ability to address our homeland security problems in this area. The discussion is expected to focus on challenges to the statistical community for collaborating and information sharing and analytic methodologies and data.
