The American Social Health Association and the CDC have combined efforts to establish a new call and email center to address the concerns of the American public. The CDC Public Response Service provides CDC-approved information on anthrax, smallpox, botulism and other biological and chemical agents. The service is also available to respond to concerns about other emergency public health issues.

Health Communication Specialists offer clear, concise, and up-to-date information and referrals to the public through hotline and email services. The service works with the general public, public health professionals and emergency response teams. Service is available for English and Spanish speakers and for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Hours of operation:
Mon - Fri, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. (ET). Sat - Sun, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET).
