On February 6, 1978, the largest New England blizzard of the century struck eastern Massachusetts. On request, four days later, the Center for Disease Control provided epidemiologic assistance. On-site disaster assistance provided decision-makers with immediate health surveillance information useful in helping the area return to normal. No outbreaks of infectious diseases and no significant increase in the number of deaths were observed in the week following the blizzard. Some of the deaths which occurred immediately after the blizzard might have been prevented if traffic had been banned earlier
