In her commentary, “The Global Dimensions of Public
Health Preparedness and Implications for US Action,” Moore (2012) points out that
Public Health is truly a global issue; and she discusses what that means for us
here in the US in terms of our need for preparedness. She suggests four areas
for action: 1) sensitize practitioners to the global nature of diseases, 2)
learn from the success of other countries, 3) US Investment in Global Health,
and 4) acting locally on global issues.

Area for Action that you feel is most important for public health preparedness?
