Situation Awareness | CDC (2024)

What we do

We gather, organize, check, and share information to help leaders and responders make science-based decisions and actionable recommendations.

We collect, analyze, and validate important information about public health emergencies by:

  • Collect and analyze data from many sources;
  • Provide secure and adaptable systems for gathering and sharing data;
  • Check the data and our analyses to be sure they are as accurate as possible; and
  • Provide recommendations on the process and systems used to collect, analyze and validate this information.

We turn data and analyses into accessible, easy-to-use tools by:

  • Creating reports, charts, maps, databases and more;
  • Ensuring that information is clear and accessible;
  • Using processes, tools, and information to predict future circ*mstances;
  • Working with partners to develop and maintain resources that support information-sharing.

We share this information with partners by:

  • Collaborating with the Incident Management Sections;
  • Developing open-sourced, interactive, web-based tools for information sharing;
  • Developing standard operating procedures (SOP), memorandums of understanding (MOUs), and trainings to support information/knowledge management.
