strategic national stockpile (SNS)
The CDC has developed a strategic national stockpile (SNS) that contains large quantities of medical equipment in the event of a disaster. Most local communities will be prepared to provide essential resources for up to 72 hours (via hospitals, pharmacies, etc.) to support local needs. Once local and federal authorities confirm the need for the SNS, and upon request of the affected state's governor's office, the 12-hour push package is flown or transported within 12 hours to any state in the United States. The 12-hour push package contains approximately 100 steel containers that hold pharmaceuticals (prepackaged 10-day supplies of antibiotics, antidotes, narcotics, epinephrine, albuterol, prednisone, etc.), IV fluids and IV supplies, ventilators, suction equipment, airway supplies, tablet counting machines, and other emergency provisions.
