This document is an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Amendment No. 1 between the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, focusing on the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Program. The amendment involves the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the federal funding agency, with the primary objective of improving preparedness and coordination between the Tribe and County Health Departments during public health emergencies.

The amendment covers two primary funding streams: PHEP Funds and IDEAS/COVID Supplemental Funds. For the PHEP Funds, $70,000 is allocated to enhance current PHEP activities, while the IDEAS/COVID Supplemental Funds provide up to $100,000 for improving vaccine cold storage capacity and reporting. The contract period runs from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, with the Tribe responsible for tasks such as appointing a PHEP Coordinator, participating in regional healthcare coalition meetings, reviewing grant guidance, developing emergency preparedness plans, and conducting COVID-19 related surveillance and laboratory testing. The total federal funds committed to the Pascua Yaqui Tribe across both funding streams amounts to $12,181,923.00, with specific focus on public health emergency preparedness and immunization efforts.
