Cities Readiness Initiative: Private Dispensing

You protect your business by planning for the unexpected — anticipating events and managing
situations at hand. Local public health agencies take the same approach to protecting the health and safety of our community.

In today’s post-9/11 and post-Katrina world, we recognize that collaboration between government and private industry is more important than ever in the areas of emergency preparedness and homeland security.

As we build this bridge of mutual communication and alliance, we’re calling on you, as a local business leader, to help protect your organization, your employees and our community by making your business a PRIVATE Dispensing Site.

Taking a few small steps now to prepare for future public health emergencies will not only protect your greatest asset — your employees — but also help prepare the entire community to respond effectively.

We thank you for taking the time and effort to visit this Web site and learn if a Private Dispensing Site is right for you and your business.

This Web site will answer key questions about what it takes to become a Private Dispensing Site, empowering your agency to fully develop such a program jointly with your local public health agency.

The Web site provides you with the background and the “know-how” to become a Private Dispensing Site. Everything is right here at your fingertips! Please visit this site often for updated information.
