Helping CDC Respond
As hurricanes continue to threaten coastal communities, CDC's Marcus Emergency Operations Center stays on the alert. When activated, the CDC Foundation's Emergency Preparedness & Response Fund enables CDC and state and local health officials to quickly obtain supplies, equipment and services needed to respond to hurricanes and other disasters.
Hurricane Safety
CDC provides information for families and organizations about how to stay safe before, during and after hurricanes.
Remembering Hurricane Katrina
Following Hurricane Katrina, the CDC Foundation s Emergency Fund helped state and local health departments purchase prescription medications for hurricane evacuees; buy satellite phones, cell phones and laptop computers to rebuild critical communications systems; and construct health clinics to replace facilities demolished by the storm. With credit cards tied to the Fund, CDC responders were able to immediately purchase specialized supplies they needed in the field.
