Dr. Nicole Lurie, Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) will be in Houston on May 4^th to meet with several organizations and individuals to better understand the way Houston and the private partners collaborate. The work we all have been doing over the last several years could be identified as national best practice! Everyone should be proud that Houston was chosen by Dr. Lurie, it demonstrates your continued commitment to excellence, collaboration, and taking care of our neighbors.

Meetings are scheduled throughout the day on the 4^th and given the importance of this meeting with Dr. Lurie, we will cancel the RHPC meeting.

The next RHPC meeting is scheduled for July 6^th at 1:30pm

Thanks, Lori
