Governor Jan Brewer has announced that a multimillion dollar federal grant will help ensure the safety of Arizona citizens in the event of a public health emergency.
A Prevention Health Emergency Preparedness Grant of nearly $12 million has been issued through the Centers for Disease Control. The funding will flow through the Arizona Department of Health Services. 83% will be passed to local governments and tribes for training and supplies.
