The BioWatch Program Infographic
A bioterrorist attack against the United States is a continuing threat with potentially devastating consequences, including mass casualties, economic instability, and critical infrastructure disruption.
The Department of Homeland Security’s BioWatch Program provides early detection of a bioterrorism event and helps communities prepare a coordinated response. The combination of detection, rapid notification, and response planning helps federal, state, and local decision-makers take steps to save lives and mitigate damage.
