The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was called into action to develop a National Pharmaceutical Stockpile (NPS). The NPS was created to respond to terrorism events involving blast, chemical and biological agents. There are many challenges associated with creating, managing and using such an asset. This paper provides a helpful background for clinicians and those planning to develop pharmaceutical and/or medical materiel stockpiles for national use. It also describes major challenges and offers suggestions for meeting those challenges.
