emergencies and disasters. ASPR
focuses on preparedness planning and
response; building Federal emergency
medical operational capabilities;
countermeasures research, advance
development, and procurement; and
grants to strengthen the capabilities of
hospitals and health care systems in
public health emergencies and medical
disasters. The office provides Federal
support, including medical

Disaster Medical System, to augment
state and local capabilities during an
emergency or disaster. Under the
PAHPA, HHS is the lead agency for the

medical services support functions in a
health emergency or public health
