America’s response to an outbreak of infectious disease or pandemic is governed by the National Response Framework, Presidential Policy Directive-44: Enhancing Domestic Incident Response, and the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA). Federal response and recovery efforts to respond to a pandemic are coordinated closely with state, local and jurisdictional federal agencies. This infographic provides specific roles and responsibilities (with links for more details) of the nation’s coordinated response for the top four agencies engaged in the Coronavirus outbreak – not all agencies involved.
