Information on Emerging Infectious Diseases/Pandemic Flu
The Central and Eastern European Schools Association, with funding from the Overseas Schools Advisory Council, has revised the Emergency Procedures Handbook - Creating a Comprehensive Emergency Procedures Manual for American-Sponsored Overseas Schools, originally published in 2003. A new chapter has been added to help schools prepare for pandemics; even though the information was developed specifically for the avian flu, it can be applied to the swine flu.
This information can be accessed in a PDF file and in the following documents:
- Summary and Background Information
- List of Pandemic Preparation/Response Procedures
- Plan of Action Phase One: Risk Reduction, Prevention and Intervention
- Plan of Action Phase One: Developing Plan for Distribution and Use of Antiviral Drugs
- Plan of Action Phase Two: Response Plan for Dealing with a Pandemic Flu Incident
