Emergency Preparedness

Implementation of the IDSR framework for fulfillment of the International Health Regulations (2005) ([IHR 2005]) has been challenging in Swaziland due to distribution of IDSR functions across units within the Strategic Information Department (SID) and other external departments within the Ministry of Health. We conducted a qualitative assessment and a Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis of current public health surveillance (PHS) support structures to inform implementation of IDSR. 

Objective

To assess essential support functions for Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response(IDSR) in the Kingdom of Swaziland and make recommendations for a national IDSR Roadmap.

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate progress in developing a scientific and practical approach for public health (PH) emergency preparedness and response informatics (EPRI) that supports the National Health Security Strategy and Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) objectives. PH emergency operations centers (EOC) contribute to health security objectives because they operationalize response, recovery and mitigation activities during national and international PH events. The primary focus of this presentation is to describe the results of an analysis of CDC’s EOC, and other EOCs, in building their EPRI capabilities.

This presentation will describe how Arkansas used the EMAC to address surge capacity needs during emergency response. The presentation will describe 1) how existing AR PCC, ADH, and ADEM partnerships used the EMAC Mission Ready Package (MRP) system to address surge capacity, and 2) the MRP development process as well as the activation procedures and integration of the AR PCC into the state’s response process

Presenters: 

Dr. Howell Foster, Director, AR PCC, University of AR for Medical Sciences 

This seminar will share how states are using existing Electronic Death Registration Systems (ERDS) for active surveillance and EDRS’ role in mass fatality planning. CDC will present an a conceptual framework to leverage EDRS and other available databases to develop an electronic national disaster mortality surveillance system.
