Which core capabilities are defined for the COVID-19 response?

The framework lists operational coordination/EOC, operational communication/information sharing, medical material management and distribution, intelligence and information sharing/public health surveillance and epidemiological investigation, and medical surge.

What hazards and intervals context guide the evaluation of core capabilities?

Core capabilities are evaluated using the CDC Pandemic Intervals Framework for acceleration and deceleration, with the hazard identified as an emerging pandemic of novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
