Funding and Regionalization

摘要

In a year that saw a federal government shutdown and a near-default on the national debt, no one is certain about funding for anything. But when it comes to preparedness funding, the BPHC's Atyia Martin says the best hedge against losing funding is getting early and regular wins under your belt and showing stakeholders at all levels the benefits of being collaborative. "The fact that the community knows what we do and what we did before and after the Marathon gives me some hope about ongoing funding to sustain and enhance capabilities that proved invaluable this year," said Martin.
