Abstract

The Florida Department of Health partnered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response to improve surveillance methods in post disaster or response events. A new process for conducting surveillance to monitor injury and illness for those presenting for care to Disaster Medical Assistance Teams was implemented.
