Fact Sheet for Louisiana
CDC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (PHPR) publishes an annual report to increase accountability regarding the nation’s investment in preparedness activities. This report, known as the National Snapshot, features national-level performance data as well as individual fact sheets for the 50 states, 4 cities, and 8 U.S. territories and freely associated states supported by the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement.
