Improving Bioterrorism Response in Los Angeles County: Helping the UCLA Center for Public Health and Disasters Make a Good Plan Better
This Applied Policy Project (APP) focuses on ways to improve response in Los Angeles County (LAC) to a smallpox or plague bioterrorist attack. We are undertaking this study to assist the UCLA Center for Public Health and Disasters (CPHD) with long term planning for this kind of crisis. This APP makes use of publicly available LAC terrorism and emergency plans, academic works, news stories, and forty interviews to thread together how LAC would respond to a smallpox or plague emergency.
