Cities readiness initiative (CRI) Program
St. Louis Healthcare Subcommittee organizations participate in CDC’s Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI), a federally funded program designed to enhance preparedness in the nation’s largest population centers. CRI improves public health emergency response capabilities in densely populated areas, when life-saving medicines and medical supplies are needed. State and large metropolitan public health departments use CRI funding to develop, test, and maintain plans to quickly receive medical countermeasures from the Strategic National Stockpile and distribute them to local communities. The Strategic National Stockpile is the nation’s largest supply of medical countermeasures for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies are depleted.
