Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response (COTPER)
Funding Guidance and Technical Assistance to States
Congress authorized funding for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement to support preparedness nationwide in state, local, tribal, and territorial public health departments in 2002, shortly after the events of September 11, 2001, and subsequent anthrax attacks. The PHEP cooperative agreement provides funding to enable public health departments to have the capacity and capability to effectively respond to the public health consequences of not only terrorist threats, but also infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological emergencies. These emergency preparedness and response efforts are designed to support the National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and are targeted specifically for the development of emergency-ready public health departments.
CDC provides PHEP cooperative agreement funding to 62 grantees, which include 50 states, eight territories (Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia), and four metropolitan areas (Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles County and New York City). CDC's Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response, Division of State and Local Readiness, administers the PHEP cooperative agreement and works closely with subject matter experts across CDC to provide annual guidance and technical assistance to state, territorial, and major metropolitan public health departments.
