How New Mexico Prepared for COVID-19

In 2019, many federal, state and local agencies entities and private sector partners participated in the scenario Crimson Contagion, which was meant to test how the U.S. government would respond to a novel influenza pandemic spreading through the U.S.

CNA's Center for Public Health Preparedness and Resilience has supported HHS on a variety of COVID-19 response initiatives:

COVID-19 Tabletop Exercises: CNA led a community mitigation measures tabletop exercise for the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Preparedness and Response and for the White House Coronavirus Taskforce.

Exercises in a Box: CNA developed a comprehensive pandemic exercise toolkit to support public and private sector stakeholders conduct a discussion-based exercise to prepare for and respond to an infectious disease pandemic, and another one on the recovery and preparations for a second wave of infections.

Tabletop Exercise: CNA created a situation manual for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that explores key issues and decisions in coordinate mass fatality management during a pandemic.
