USG Pandemic Response Team: An Integrated, Whole of Government Approach

Abstract

The rising and concentrated populations coupled with increasing global travel are all factors that should change the way humanity deals with preventing and treating epidemics. In order to protect its national interests and mitigate the increasing threat and risk of a pandemic, the United States should develop an interagency response team using a whole of government approach. A review of current capabilities, a case study on the EBOLA response and a recommendation for a way ahead are outline in this paper.
