520    Since 2001, the U.S. government has spent more than $7 
       billion to enhance state and local preparedness for 
       bioterrorism attacks, natural disasters, disease outbreaks,
       and other large-scale public health emergencies. A central
       component of this effort involves the ability to dispense 
       antibiotics and other life-saving medical countermeasures 
       to large populations under short timelines. This report 
       presents recommended standards for points of dispensing 
       (or PODs), locations where the public would receive life-
       saving antibiotics or other medical countermeasures during
       a large-scale public health emergency. The standards, 
       which are designed to apply to widely divergent 
       jurisdictions, rely on expert panel evaluations, current 
       POD planning practices, and computer-modeled scenarios.
