Key Definitions:


Public-Private Partnership – any partnership between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a private sector entity.

Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response – comprises all activities to protect the public's health during a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or environmental adverse event, including natural disasters and terrorism.
