NOTE: Messages previously attached were removed due to broken links.

However, we still need your help verifying your agency's key contacts:

NOTE: Attachments were removed to maintain confidentiality of information.

Action 1. Please validate the personnel contact information (State Health Officers, State Epidemiologists, State Lab Directors, State WMD Directors) for your agency (see attachments above). Make any corrections or additions (i.e., Deputy State Health Officers, 24/7 Duty Officers, etc.) necessary to ensure timely and accurate communication and return the corrections to us as soon as possible by e-mail.

Action 2. Please advise us of any state or local health alert response to this national event that may have been implemented within your jurisdiction.
