2,3,4
Rationale 1: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveys trends, and is the main agency concerned with protecting the public from disease and controlling spread on a national level. The Public Health Department works at a local level to prevent spread of disease. The Department of Homeland Security would be involved because of concern over potential bioterrorism. The World Health Organization would not be involved unless there were concern about spread of the disease to other parts of the world. The Drug Enforcement Agency controls use of controlled medication, but would not be involved in an infection outbreak.
