The CDC Public
Response Service is interested in displaying their
telephone numbers and email link for the benefit of visitors to our site.
As a result of the Anthrax outbreaks following the September terrorist attacks,
American Social Health Association and the CDC combined efforts to establish a
new call and email center to address the concerns of the American public. The
CDC Public Response Service began in October 2001 and provides CDC approved
information to the public about biological and chemical terrorism. The service
provides information on anthrax, small pox, botulism and other biological and
chemical agents. The service is also
available to respond to concerns about other emergency public health issues.
Health Communication Specialists offer clear, concise, up-to-date information
and referrals to the public through hotline and email services. The service
works with the general public, public health professionals and emergency
response teams. Service is available for English and Spanish speakers and for
the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Hours of operation: Mon-Fri 8am-11pm(ET) and Sat-Sun 10am-8pm. (ET)
Toll-free numbers:
English 1-888-246-2675 and Spanish 1-888-246-2857 and TTY 1-866-874-2646
Email:
cdcresponse@ashastd.org.
Another useful link for our visitors with questions about bioterrorism would be
the CDC website at www.bt.cdc.gov.
