The group discussed common approaches in leveraging state and regional tools and resources to inform local preparedness planning. The group also continued discussion around Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Capabilities 1 and 2, and will be working to develop resources to support peer local health departments working on meeting these capabilities.
