The response to the Boston bombing showed the importance of relationship-building in emergency preparedness. The relationship between the Boston Public Health Commission and Walgreen’s epitomizes the importance of public-private sector cooperation and how it pays off during an emergency. Research a large-scale event in the U.S and describe existing public-private sector relationships and how the efforts better protect the public’s health. Using the same event, describe a new relationship that could be built between the public and private sectors that will further protect the public.
