Jurisdictional Preparedness Support (JPS)

SNS program provides lifesaving medicine and medical equipment to the public at no cost during certain public health emergencies.  The SNS Team works with Local and Regional partners to achieve jurisdictional strengthening to protect the health and well-being of communities across Texas. If you have further questions, please contact SNS@DSHS.state.tx.us or visit the US HHS Strategic National Stockpile website.

SNS Medications will often be given out at what is called a Point of Dispensing (POD) site. This is like large vaccine sites you may have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
