Examples of funded projects...
Funded projects are cooperative agreements to State governments to develop, implement, and maintain an emergency event surveillance system. All projects have as their overall objectives: A. Describe the type and cause of morbidity experienced by employees, first responders and the general public as a result of selected hazardous substance emergencies; B. Develop and propose strategies to reduce subsequent morbidity and mortality when comparable events occur in the future; C. Evaluate the public health impact of hazardous material releases, expand the access to databases with relevant hazardous material events and provide annual summaries of public health impacts; and D. Continue formal and informal interactions with State programs and local emergency responders, as well as private industry, to yield new resources and more complete information on emergency events.
