The new report, 2025 Ready or Not: Protecting the Public’s Health from Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism, released by Trust for America’s Health measures states’ readiness for a range of health emergencies based on 10 indicators, including healthcare system readiness, state public health funding, public health laboratory surge capacity, employee access to paid time off, and community water system safety. The report’s special feature on the H5N1 Bird Flu discusses steps the country should take to protect against the outbreak evolving into a pandemic. 

The report provides federal, state, and local policymakers and health officials with benchmarks and policy recommendations that outline how jurisdictions can strengthen their emergency preparedness.
