Biopreparedness involves planning and actions taken to protect communities from biological threats like infectious diseases, bioterrorism, or pandemics. It includes disease surveillance, rapid detection, effective response strategies, stockpiling vaccines and medicines, and training healthcare workers. The goal is to minimize health impacts, prevent widespread outbreaks, and ensure a quick, coordinated response if a biological threat emerges. Essentially, it’s about being ready to respond swiftly and effectively to protect public health in the face of biological risks.
