AB Protecting  the  public  is  a  core  function  of  the  government.  Usually,  this  function  is  thought  of  as  a  national  security  or  military  defense  mission,  but  protecting  the  public  from  health  threats  is  also  a  security  function.  Because  large-scale  health  emergencies  can  cause  loss  of  life  and  loss  of  confidence  in  government  capacities,  preparing  for  and  responding  to  health  emergencies  is  increasingly  seen  as  an  element  of  national  security.1,2
