Disaster Response for Homeless Individuals and Families: A Trauma-Informed Approach
From the Document: "People experiencing homelessness typically have limited resources and likely have past exposure to traumatic events. Therefore, they may be at higher risk of adverse physical and psychological reactions following a public health emergency or disaster. Trauma-informed approaches can help disaster responders effectively serve homeless individuals and families. A trauma-informed approach to disaster response acknowledges past trauma and the current impact it may have on the lives of anyone receiving services or support. Sensitivity to trauma can improve communication between responders and the homeless and facilitate compliance with public health directives."

Continuity of Operations (COOP) Planning for Education Agencies: 'Ensuring Continuity of Teaching and Learning During Prolonged Absences, Dismissals, and Closures'
From the Overview: "For schools, continuity of operations (COOP) planning means preparing to support the whole school community in the event of short- and long-term student and staff absences, school dismissals, and/or school closures. The COOP plan -- contained in what is known as an 'annex' within a school emergency operations plan (EOP) -- will describe how a school or district will work to provide for the continuation of essential services during prolonged absences caused by emergencies (e.g., an infectious disease outbreak, natural disaster, or power outage)."

OTP Guidance for Patients Quarantined at Home with the Coronavirus
From the Document: "1. Document that the patient is medically ordered to be under isolation or quarantine. When possible confirm source of information- e.g.: doctor's order, medical record. Ensure the documentation is maintained in the patient's OTP [opioid treatment program] record. 2. Identify a trustworthy, patient designated, uninfected 3rd party, i.e. family member, neighbor, to deliver the medications using the OTP's established chain of custody protocol for take home medication. This protocol should already be in place and in compliance with respective state and DEA [Drug Enforcement Administration] regulations. OTPs should obtain documentation now for each patient as to who is designated permission to pick up medication for them and maintain this process of determining a designee for any new patients. 3. If a trustworthy 3rd party is not available or unable to come to the OTP, then the OTP should prepare a 'doorstep' delivery of take home medications. Any medication taken out of the OTP must be in an approved lock box."

CERC in an Infectious Disease Outbreak
From the Document: "Quickly sharing information about a disease outbreak can help stop the spread of disease, and prevent and reduce illness and even death. People often remember the first information they hear in an emergency, so the first information they receive should come from health experts. [1] Even if the cause of the outbreak or specific disease is unknown, share facts that are available. This can help you stay ahead of possible rumors. [2] Share information about the signs and symptoms of disease, who is at risk, treatment and care options, and when to seek medical care."

Tirador Activo: Cómo Responder
"Un tirador activo es un individuo involucrado activamente en la tarea de matar o intentar matar a otras personas que se encuentran en un área restringida y llena de gente; en la mayoría de los casos, los tiradores activos usan armas de fuego, y no tienen un patrón o método para seleccionar a las víctimas. Las situaciones que involucran a un tirador activo son impredecibles y progresan rápidamente. En general, se requiere el despliegue inmediato de fuerzas policiales para detener los disparos y minimizar el daño a las víctimas. Dado que a menudo las situaciones que involucran a un tirador activo no duran más de 10 o 15 minutos, antes de que las fuerzas policiales lleguen al lugar de los hechos, las personas deben estar preparadas tanto mental como físicamente para hacer frente a la situación."

Mental Health and Behavioral Guidelines for Response to a Pandemic Flu Outbreak: Background on the Mental Health Impact of Natural Disasters, including Epidemics
"It is only relatively recently that attention has been focused on the mental health impact of disasters. Previously, concerns related to immediate physical health and community infrastructure risks in the aftermath of disasters such as storms, earthquakes, or floods had overwhelmed considerations of the short and long-term mental health consequences of disasters, or the extent to which mental health played a role in the impact of a disaster. In the arena of the health impact of natural disasters, the majority of data available relate to weather or geologic events. [...] We know that severe stress reactions are common; that front-line health and human services workers are at high risk for PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder]; and that in general, even in relatively developed countries, there is very little existing infrastructure in place that can adequately address the mental health needs of victims. In contrast, there is almost no data on the mental health impacts of outbreaks of disease. This is largely because there have been few pandemic health threats in the last century. Since the highly lethal pandemic outbreak of influenza in 1918, there have been few global threats from infectious agents. The recent outbreaks of SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] in Asia and Canada, which caused global concern but fortunately did not result in large-scale outbreaks nor a global pandemic, gives us the most recent data on the mental health concerns that are relevant in a pandemic outbreak situation."

Interim Guidance for Cargo Trucking Crews for the Prevention of Pandemic Influenza
This is an archived webpage providing guidance to cargo trucking crews for the prevention of pandemic influenza. "Cargo trucking is part of the critical infrastructure essential to maintaining the Nation's continuity of operations in the event of an influenza (flu) pandemic (a worldwide outbreak of a novel flu virus). This draft interim guidance is meant to inform and educate cargo trucking management and crew personnel about precautions and appropriate work practices to minimize exposure and prevent workplace-related transmission of flu in the event of a pandemic. These recommendations are primarily based on standard infection control practices and information about preventing seasonal flu and specific concerns associated with the potential for an outbreak of pandemic flu. These guidelines were developed for the three main segments of the U.S. trucking industry: government entities, private cargo carriers, and for-hire motor carriers, but are also applicable for couriers, local delivery enterprises, and other trucking operations such as refuse haulers. These guidelines and recommendations may change as more becomes known about the specifics of a particular flu pandemic, the virus believed to be responsible, and the efficacy of public health control measures."
