staffing health clinics, testing the water supply
To enhance this conversation a bit, I wanted to also give my address to what Public Health is. Public Health is often seen as a shadow in disaster and crisis management because the practice does not often get the credit it deserves. Public Health departments have a lot of integration and coordination in disaster response and incident management. Many public health agencies and officials have a large supporting role in the quests to eradicate and eliminate disease including those that create pandemics such as smallpox, SARS and even the Ebola-virus. Public health agencies also play a large role in surge capacity assistance and disaster-related procedures for the healthcare sector during times of crisis. Public health is about protecting the health of the public and it is important for public health to get the spotlight that they deserve.

The US Constitution says nothing about the management of public health. Therefore, it is a function left to the several states, if they choose to take it up. In most cases, the states have delegated most, but not all, Public Health functions to local governments. However, the Federal government does have a role in Public Health, since it operates an agency called the US Public Health Service.
In the United States, the responsibility for public health is typically shared among various government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are key federal agencies involved in public health efforts. State and local health departments also play a critical role in protecting and promoting the public's health.
Doesn't it fall under Public Health?
