Laboratory capability is an important aspect of public health emergency preparedness and response. Effective lab testing is critical to successfully detect and understand different public health threats during public health emergencies. In the first session of a two-part webinar series, join ASTHO and APHL as we highlight how health agencies coordinate with public health laboratories to support emergency response.

This webinar will highlight how California coordinated across departments in response to a recent botulism outbreak related to infant formula. This emergency represents an intersection of several areas of public health and will share perspectives from staff in several different roles in California. Participants will hear lessons learned about collaboration from this real-world response
