Things brought beauty for coming to the center for Global Development today for this interesting discussion. I think that sound effect was appropriate. For the tension that might exist between the need to deliver humanitarian care when there is an outbreak as serious as the recent Ebola Outbreak in the need to actually learn, learn what works to address that and where the outbreak is of a disease which is emerging that is therapeutic, does not exist and even the vaccine does not exist. In those cases, the need for learning and how can that need for learning be accommodated when the humanitarian need is so great. Our speakers today who will be addressing not point are the leaders of the team at the National Cabinet of science to produce a report recently published on the topic of implementing epidemics. Im going to turn over the podium now to the cochair of that team who is dr. Jerry keusch at Austin University and hes also managing very important and exciting institution recently creat

Because we havent seen the actual declaration yet, it is hard to say what this will do. Thingeral, the number one you can say is that this will mean a lot more awareness and attention on the issue. The easiest thing to say, this will put a spotlight on what is going on around the country when it comes to the crisis. From there we are looking at what the laws are that govern Emergency Declarations, to get a clue towards what he might do. Usedneral these things are for Something Like a hurricane or flood or a tangible event that is concrete. Public Health Emergencies are declared when it comes to Communicable Disease like influenza or the h1n1 virus. This is a novel use. We have not seen emergency for a broad used and multifaceted thing like the opioid crisis. Host when will this become official a
