Founded in October 2009, Bio Prep Watch (BPW) is an Internet-based newswire dedicated to 24/7 coverage of biological terror threats and the policies, procedures and personnel dedicated to thwarting them.

Today, with globalization facilitating the movement of terrorists and the weaponized use of biological agents a constantly looming threat, the influx of need-to-know news has become overwhelming, and prevailing media outlets have proven ill-equipped to keep up.

Bio Prep Watch will fill this void, providing up-to-date information on biological threats and response efforts to help ensure that first responders, government officials, and the general public are well-informed and well-prepared.

We're Chicago-based with staff writers and freelance correspondents stationed in and near all the major jurisdictions in the United States.
