Tribal nations adhere to the core principles of having well integrated and coordinated preparedness, training, response, and recovery plans and programs in place both before and after disaster strikes, including the capacity and capability to receive and deliver lifesaving assets from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to their communities. To assist in these efforts, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a "SNS Planning and Tribes" conference series for the 2011 SNS Summit held in Atlanta, July 25–28. As part of the summit, tribal representatives shared promising practices and discussed the challenges of planning for an incident in which SNS assets would be deployed with the CDC/Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS) leadership.
