In 2012, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) assessed state-level disaster epidemiologic capacity with a focus on surveillance. Concurrently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created the Disaster Epidemiology Community of Practice (DE CoP), which serves as a forum for public health practitioners to share information, including resources related to post-disaster surveillance. This panel will present the results of the CSTE 2012 assessment and will provide an overview of resources available to epidemiologists for post-disaster surveillance.}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Simms, Erin and Wolkin, Amy and Choudhary, Ekta and Mathes, Robert and Heumann, Michael and Watkins, Sharon}, year={2014}, month={Mar.} }
