Preventing the Next Pandemic
Only a few years after the COVID-19 pandemic, experts warn that the world could face another global pandemic or an even worse biological threat. But what can we do to prevent the next crisis? In this talk, Erik Dahl argues that much of the answer lies in improving our intelligence, surveillance, and warning capabilities to anticipate and detect health threats. That intelligence comes from medical and public health surveillance systems as well as from traditional intelligence agencies, but the bad news is that we are not much better prepared today to detect global health dangers than we were in 2020. Dahl outlines what must be done as we prepare for the next pandemic.
Erik J. Dahl, Ph.D., is an associate professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, where he specializes in intelligence.
