Program Capabilities and Domains
The Washington State Department of Health's Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response is funded primarily by grants for public health preparedness from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and for healthcare preparedness from the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
