The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) was established in 1999 at
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Prevention (CDC) to provide an inventory of
medications and medical supplies available to send to a location
in the event of a large infectious disease outbreak or other
public health emergency, including a bioterrorism attack.
SNS planners are charged with planning for the arrival
of the supplies to augment local and state resources.
Key to the arrival of SNS medications and supplies
is planning for mass antibiotic dispensing.
The overarching goal of a dispensing operation
is to decrease the pool of people exposed or presenting
during an event. This satellite broadcast will provide SNS
planners with an overview of the critical aspects of a mass dispensing operation.
The presenters will discuss policy and operational issues that need
to be wrestled with, resolved, and planned for, prior to an event.
A question and answer session will enable participants nationwide
to pose questions to panelists via a toll free telephone,
fax, or TTY lines.
