During the initial response, the people and communities that are impacted must rely on local community resources. The public health consequences of disasters and emergencies initially affect local jurisdictions. Public health systems play an integral role in preparing communities to respond to and recover from threats and emergencies. Equipment and Technology (E/T ) – Infrastructure a jurisdiction should have or have access to with sufficient quantities or levels of effectiveness to achieve the intent of any related capability task.Skills and Training (S/T) – General baseline descriptions, competencies, and skills that personnel and teams should possess to achieve a capability.Preparedness (P) – Components to consider within existing operational plans, standard operating procedures, guidelines, documents, or other types of written agreements, such as contracts or memoranda of understanding (MOUs).The three categories of capability resource elements are While not necessarily listed first, “priority” resource elements are potentially the most critical for completing capability tasks based on jurisdictional risk assessments and other forms of community input. Resource elements are listed sequentially to align with corresponding tasks in each function. Capability Resource Elements – Resources a jurisdiction should have or have access to successfully perform capability tasks associated with capability functions.

In 2017, DSLR began updating the capabilities in response to lessons learned from public health emergency responses, updates to public health preparedness science, revised guidance and resources, findings from internal reviews and assessments, subject matter expert feedback from the practice community, and input from allied federal agencies and professional associations. Since then, these capability standards have served as a vital framework for state, local, tribal, and territorial preparedness programs as they plan, operationalize, and evaluate their ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies. In 2011, CDC established 15 capabilities that serve as national standards for public health preparedness planning.
