Answer to Question 1
C
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recognized as the leading federal agency designed to protect the health and safety of people at home and abroad. The mission of the CDC's Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response (COTPER) is to protect the health and enhance the living of all people in terms of community preparedness and response. The CDC's mission is to ensure that the nation is well prepared to respond to an act of terrorism (CDC, 2003). The American Medical Association has developed a series of National Disaster Life Support courses designed to provide a uniform, coordinated approach to all-hazards disaster management, but these courses are not designed specifically to combat terrorism. The CDC works with the American Red Cross because both are advocates of preparedness and coordination of prompt, effective emergency efforts. This preparedness coordination goes far beyond these individual agencies and includes outreach to other agencies or groups through mutual aid agreements. However, the CDC is the preeminent agency in this field. Other agencies (e.g., department stores, the Salvation Army, Goodwill) provide clothing. Their efforts are not directed primarily toward terrorist activity.
