With this week’s bellicose boasting about who has the bigger red button on his desk, an alert Thursday from the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention felt more than a bit on the nose.

With the prospect of actual nuclear war breaking out between North Korea and the United States seeming ever more 
real, the CDC is moving to prepare health professionals and others on what the public health response would be to a

nurses, epidemiologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, certified health education specialists, laboratory scientists, 
and others. The event will be held Jan. 16.
