The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response is inviting King County residents to discuss what they think about how medicines should be given out during a public health emergency. Community input will help guide national, state and local policy on emergency preparedness. Participants will discuss what would influence their actions and decision-making during a public health emergency, such as a bioterrorism event, and how medicines should be given out during a public health emergency.
