Funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), this is the first such computer model that hospitals and public health agencies can easily download and customize to meet their local needs. The computer model will be made available to all 50 states and major U.S. cities in order to help them comply with Federal guidelines on preparedness for large-scale disasters.
