CDC and the Indian Health Service
Issue Tribal SNS Resource Guide
A resource guide for American Indian and Alaska Native Government
leaders, Preparing Tribal Nations to Receive Strategic National
Stockpile Assets, has been issued by CDC and the Indian Health
Service. The brochure suggests that AI/AN governments should
work with state and local partners and the IHS to plan for requesting,
receiving, and dispensing SNS assets during a public health
emergency. In working with other governments, it is further
suggested that tribal leaders designate a tribal liaison to
speak with authority on public health emergency issues, and
to coordinate tribal plans with those of other government entities.
Mutual aid agreements are listed as important tools for accomplishing
exchange of resources and information between governments to
prevent or respond to public health emergencies. To access
