Availability of emergency preparedness funding between 2002 and 2009 allowed the North Dakota Department of Health to build public health response capabilities. Five of the 15 public health preparedness capability areas identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2011 have been thoroughly tested by responses to flooding in North Dakota in 2009, 2010, and 2011; those capability areas are information sharing, emergency operations coordination, medical surge, material management and distribution, and volunteer management. Increasing response effectiveness has depended on planning, implementation of new information technology, changes to command and control procedures, containerized response materials, and rapid contract procedures. Continued improvement in response and maintenance of response capabilities is dependent on ongoing funding.
2002 年至 2009 年期间，应急准备资金的可用性使北达科他州卫生部能够建立公共卫生应对能力。在 2011 年，疾病控制与预防中心确定的 15 个公共卫生准备能力领域中，有 5 个已经通过 2009 年、2010 年和 2011 年在北达科他州的洪水中得到了充分的测试；这些能力领域包括信息共享、应急行动协调、医疗应急、物资管理和分发以及志愿者管理。提高应对效果取决于规划、新信息技术的实施、指挥和控制程序的变更、集装箱化的应对材料以及快速合同程序。持续改进应对措施和维护应对能力取决于持续的资金投入。
