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 Stockpile (SNS) to their communities. To assist in these efforts, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed an “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 in planning for an incident in which SNS assets would be deployed, through peer presentations and closed-door sessions with the CDC/Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS) leadership.
