Ready or Not 2022: Protecting the Public’s Health from Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism

Trust for America’s Health’s (TFAH) Ready or Not report series provides an annual assessment of states' level of readiness to protect the public's health during emergencies. This year's report placed fewer states in the top performance tier for public health preparedness as compared to the 2021 report. The report tiers US states and the District of Columbia into three performance levels: high, middle and low, placing 17 states and DC in the high-performance tier, 20 states in the middle performance tier, and 13 states in the low performance tier based on their 2021 performance.
