• Develop and propose an action plan for implementing the recommendations set forth in the Report.
• Monitor the effectiveness of Michigan’s public health response system, particular in circumstances in which multiple government agencies are required to work in circumstances in which multiple government agencies are required to work in collaboration in response to a public health threat.
• Review multiagency efforts that support a One-Health approach (human health/animal health interface) to reduce duplication of effort by involved agencies and to form a unified communications strategy when addressing public health concerns.
