MMWR News Synopsis for September 5, 2013
1. CDC’s Emergency Management Program Activities — Worldwide, 2003–2012
For the past ten years, the Emergency Management Program (EMP) has been a crucial component of CDC’s ability to respond to public health emergencies, and continues to be an effective, flexible asset for protecting public health. CDC is dedicated to protecting the nation’s health 24/7, and this means responding to everything from infectious disease outbreaks to mass gatherings.
2. Surveillance for Waterborne Disease Outbreaks Associated with Drinking Water — United States, 2009–2010
The drinking water outbreaks reported during this surveillance period highlight emerging and persisting public health challenges associated with drinking water systems, including Legionella in building plumbing systems, contamination of untreated ground water in public water systems and private wells, and deficiencies in the public drinking water system infrastructure. Outbreaks associated with building plumbing systems highlight the need for interventions to reduce the growth of pathogens within plumbing systems.
