Project Public Health Ready Criteria

Each of the three Project Public Health Ready (PPHR) project goals—emergency preparedness and response planning, workforce capacity development, and exercises to evaluate preparedness—has a comprehensive list of criteria.

PPHR criteria are the only national standards for public health preparedness. They are continuously updated to incorporate the most recent federal initiatives, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Preparedness Metrics, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and Emergency Service Functions (ESFs).
