What is the SNS (Strategic National Stockpile)?
The SNS is a federal program that stores large amounts of emergency medications and supplies. The SNS distributes these medications and supplies to states that ask for them during emergencies. • In our state, we distribute our SNS antivirals to local health departments based on population. • Local governments will use SNS supplies only to re-supply pharmacies, doctors’ offices and hospitals if they run out of their current supply.
