In an emergency, all hands on deck. Dentists are willing to support the medical and public health response to a disaster, and this legislation allows States the option to incorporate dentists into their disaster response framework. Our Nation's medical surge capacity will never be optimal until we capitalize on the personnel resources of the entire health care workforce. I urge full support of this important legislation, H.R. 570, to ensure our national disaster responses have the maximum amount of available resources.
