ChangeLab Solutions has created a resource to examine the legal authorities that can affect preparedness for and response to emerging and zoonotic infectious diseases (EZIDs) in state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) jurisdictions.

This resource explores these questions:

  • How do state laws define or address animals, EZIDs, and the locations where EZID response may occur?
  • Which agencies are tasked with EZID or animal control?
  • What specific powers do these agencies have, and are they required by law or policy to coordinate and collaborate to address EZIDs?
  • How is EZID data shared among relevant agencies and between different jurisdictions and levels of government?
