Local and regional news announce outbreaks, usually citing information from local and regional health authorities. Every city, county, and state in the US have some agency responsible for monitoring and reporting. I don't think finding that information presents a big problem, though perhaps no easily-accessible or centralized source exists given the fragmented nature of reporting in the US. The CDC has an Outbreaks page, and some maps like this one for influenza: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm I don't particularly worry about infectious diseases, I've survived six decades relying on news reports and what I hear from other people.
