New pages include the following critical topics: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Emergency Preparedness and Response Information including public service announcements, fact sheets and “hang tags,” and basic safety points in 17 languages. Emergency information on earthquake response and disease outbreak. CDC Features for healthy living and concussions. Information provided by the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Tobacco and smoking cessation resources from the Food and Drug Administration. Content syndication is a technical application that allows CDC partners to display CDC health and safety information on their own Web sites. The content is automatically updated so that when CDC updates the information, the changes are automatically made on the partner's Web site. This tool is an easy and cost-free way to provide credible, science-based health information. All topics are available for viewing in the online catalog. Visit CDC’s Content Syndication page to obtain additional information on content syndication self-registration, page selection process or to request additional pages to be syndicated.
