Emergency Management Community

In the event of a severe public health emergency, one of the many critical factors in preserving and protecting public health will be continued access to essential medicines—for treatment of injury or illness caused by the event, as well as continued supply of essential day-to-day medicines to patients for the duration of the emergency.

A basic situation report will be updated here during activation of Rx Response.  State ESF-8 Public Health and Medical coordinators may request member access to request product by sending an email to admin@rxresponse.org. Please provide an email address, telephone number where you can be reached, and your agency affiliation.
