103 of the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of

to the HHS Secretary with respect to the medical and public health 
needs of children in relation to disasters.
    The NPRSB is authorized under Section 319M of the Public Health

addition, the ASPR FSWG provides prioritized recommendations for 
guiding current efforts toward future strategies by examining such 
items as ASPR's current mission, strategic objectives, resources, and 
capabilities against projected futures. In 2017, the NACCD established
