Public Health response to outbrea

Choose a recent (within the last 3 years) outbreak or other public health emergency situation that has drawn significant media attention (Ebola).  Describe how specific aspects of the public health infrastructure contributed to either the emergency situation or its solution.  The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index2015.html) contents for recent weeks would be a good place to look for recent outbreaks.
