## What the grant funds

This funding program aims to strengthen the capability of state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health systems to prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health threats and emergencies. Our goal is to enhance readiness to save lives during emergencies that exceed the day-to-day capacity of public health response agencies. This funding opportunity provides a roadmap for PHEP recipients to develop strategies and activities that will increase their readiness to execute plans, respond to public health threats and emergencies, and recover from them.
