municate and better understand each other. Securing adequate funding for preparedness infrastructure at the state or regional level has been shown to greatly improve coordination across sectors. These findings are a call to action for all EPH professionals to engage their state and local preparedness exercise planners to invite EPH professionals to their exercises and to get EPH problems added to the script. Finally, the panel recommended that NEHA engage FEMA and the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the pol-
icy level to ensure that EPH is at the prepared- ness table. The authors thank the participants of this panel for sharing their insight and hope that the capacity for EPH preparedness and response continues to grow.
