Interrupting My Shift: Disaster Preparedness and Response

Editor’s Note: This article is part of a series that describes the many ways that the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) interacts with the emergency care system. DHHS includes many divisions that are well known to the health care world including the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality. The goal of the series is to increase the visibility of federal emergency care-related activities within the emergency care community.
