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.
