3、that affects public health, publicsafety, the economy and the general confidence of the people. The National Strategy for HomelandSecurity and its National Response Framework focuses homeland security efforts on preventing anddisrupting terrorist attacks, protecting the American people, our critical
4、 infrastructure and keyresources, and responding to and recovering from incidents that do occur while continuing tostrengthen the foundation of our nation. As laid out by the National Response Framework, acoordinated and synchronous response to suspected acts of bio-terrorism requires advance planni
5、ng,including the equipping and training of emergency responders prior to an incident. The goal of thisstandard guide is to support national standards for responding to and collecting suspected biothreat-biological agents and toxins with guidance centered on coordination among representatives ofemerg
6、ency response teams, including hazardous materials response teams, law enforcement, publichealth, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) national Laboratory ResponseNetwork (LRN), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This standard guide provides uniformguidance that
