The BOL and Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) collaborate to ensure adequate allocation and support for LRN‐C activities. The Bureau of Laboratories (BOL) provides rapid diagnostic and analytical testing services for biological agents in human and environmental samples and rapid analytical testing for chemical agents in human samples due to an accidental, intentional, or natural disaster. Laboratory services are coordinated with local health departments, MDHHS Bureau of Disease Control, Prevention, and Epidemiology, MI Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and/or MI Department of Environmental Quality, as appropriate. BOL's network of partners and areas of research makes the bureau an invaluable information source for DEPR's operations.
