Emerging Infectious Diseases/Pandemic - Developing Plans for Distribution and Use of Antiviral Drugs

          Collaborating with host-country and local public health agencies and/or emergency

            responders, as well as other schools and community service providers, to share

            your pandemic plans, understand their capabilities and plans, and improve

            community response efforts.

 

          Identifying priority channels of communication; delineating the network of

            communications personnel, including  lead spokespersons and persons trained in

            emergency risk communication; and linking to other communication networks.

 

          Identifying the authorities responsible for executing the operations plan, especially

            those authorities responsible for case identification, isolation, quarantine,

            movement restriction, healthcare services, emergency care and mutual aid for

            students, teachers and staff. (e.g. School Nurse, School-Appointed Doctor,

            Embassy Health Personnel, etc.)

 

          Identifying any local authorities that have the power to declare a public health

            emergency that will affect the school.

 

          Developing and being prepared to implement a plan for enhanced surveillance once a

            pandemic is detected in the community, to ensure recognition of the first cases

            of infection in the school in time to initiate appropriate containment protocols,

            and exercising this surveillance regularly.

 

          Developing continuity-of-operations plan for essential departments and offices.
