DOWNLOAD EBOOKRecently, there has been an increased focus on developing the ability to provide early detection of and situational awareness during a disease outbreak. The Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act sought to enhance this capability, in part, by creating the National Biosurveillance Integration Center (NBIC). NBIC is to help provide early detection and situational awareness by integrating information and supporting an interagency biosurveillance community. The Act mandated reports on the state of biosurveillance and resource use in federal, state, local, and tribal governments. This report focuses on the actions taken by NBIC to: (1) acquire resources to accomplish its mission; and (2) effectively collaborate with its federal partners. Illustrations.
