a: Measles ~
b: fire alarm to public health officials

What:

"More outbreaks are occurring in the U.S. and each one requires significant amounts of time and resources to contain. A case of measles is like a fire alarm to public health officials and we respond to it like firefighters would to reports of a four-alarm blaze. It's critical for us to react quickly in order to keep the danger from spreading and endangering lives."
