Background:

In March 2008, the Federal government issued guidance for the second round of State planning assessments. Assessments of the first round of plans showed improved progress but also underscored the need for better Federal guidance, as well as increased efforts by State-level agencies to fill the remaining gaps in preparedness. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is providing a series of webcasts to provide additional guidance and clarification on the Federal guidance.
