“The nation faced the most severe flu season in nearly a decade, the highest annual measles case count since 1991, and devastating weather-related emergencies, even as federal public health funding, staffing, and operational support were destabilized. These challenges make clear that emergency preparedness cannot rely on a patchwork of limited and unpredictable resources.” — Dr. J. Nadine Gracia, TFAH President & CEO, on TFAH’s new #ReadyorNot 2026 www.tfah.org/report-details/ready-or-not-2026/
