Global Health Security Initiative (GHSI) [website]
From the 'background' section of the website:"Following September 11, 2001, former United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson suggested that countries fighting bioterrorism should meet to share information and coordinate their efforts to improve global health security. On November 7, 2001, Canada's Minister of Health hosted the first Ministerial Meeting in Ottawa, Canada to discuss global health security. Attending, in addition to Canada, were Ministers/Secretaries/Commissioner of Health and senior health officials from the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, the United States and the World Health Organization. Ministers called for concerted global action to strengthen public health preparedness and response to the threat of international biological, chemical and radio-nuclear terrorism. […]The GHSI was envisaged as an informal group to fill a gap for like-minded countries to address health issues of the day, such as global health security. The Initiative was not intended to replace, overlap or duplicate existing fora or networks. "

Public Health Surveillance: Preparing for the Future
"CDC's [Center for Disease Control and Prevention] goal for federally supported surveillance activities is to get the right information into the right hands at the right time. A strategic plan to improve surveillance at CDC was launched in February 2014 to better achieve this goal. In the United States, gathering surveillance data is a shared effort between CDC and thousands of agencies at the federal and state, territorial, local, and tribal levels. States have primary responsibility for disease reporting and share anonymized data with CDC. At the same time, CDC maintains more than 100 surveillance systems for different uses, which creates a reporting burden and duplication of effort for partners, discrepancies among the data elements, and the need to use multiple information technology (IT) systems. Our strategic plan for surveillance focused on what CDC must do to make greater use of established data standards, decrease unnecessary redundancies and reporting burdens on state and local health departments, and reduce the number of stand-alone systems. Along with our partners, we continue to address ongoing challenges as well as broader health data issues to meet a changing landscape confronting the agency and public health."

Decontamination of Vehicles & Equipment Used for Transportation of Potential Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Patients or Related Equipment
"This information paper provides guidance for decontaminating vehicles used to transport personnel or equipment in the Area of Operations (AO) impacted by Ebola virus disease (EVD). […] This information is applicable to DOD-owned vehicles and equipment. This is preliminary information based upon limited available data. This document is not intended to be a step-by-step instruction and should be read and understood in its entirety prior to commencing any vehicle decontamination activity. Hence, there is an expectation that personnel involved with decontamination activities have familiarity with the proper use of personnel protective equipment, respirator protection program, working with hazardous materials, hazards associated with working with infected persons and remains, and waste management and disposal practices. […] The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that the 2014 outbreak is the largest outbreak of EVD in history and the first in West Africa. There may be instances during responses to the outbreak when DOD vehicles may be used for the transport of suspected and/or confirmed EVD patients, equipment, or medical waste."

Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data [website]
From the Website: "The GISAID [Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data] Initiative promotes the international sharing of all influenza virus sequences, related clinical and epidemiological data associated with human viruses, and geographical as well as species-specific data associated with avian and other animal viruses, to help researchers understand how the viruses evolve, spread and potentially become pandemics. GISAID does so by overcoming disincentives/hurdles or restrictions, which discourage or prevented sharing of influenza data prior to formal publication."

Alternate Care Site Operations Guide
From the Executive Summary: "Over the past 10 to 15 years, the U.S. has experienced disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, the H1N1 pandemic, and other large-scale emergencies. It has become clear that medical surge is a major issue that must be addressed during such emergencies. The Florida Department of Health, therefore, has taken a number of steps to help local communities prepare for the operation of one medical surge solution, alternate care sites (ACS). Included are planning tools, online training modules, exercises, response resources, and guidelines such as this Alternate Care Site Operations Guide. This guide has been designed to serve as a planning and operational resource. Guides such as this are often hundreds of pages long; however, in order to make this guide most useful, it has been limited to the key concepts and practices for ACS operations. Additionally, to provide even more concise guidance, a 'Quick Start' guide has been added to the Appendix section to facilitate rapid implementation of an alternate care site."

All-Hazards Preparedness for Rural Communities: A Guide to Help Rural Agriculture Communities Prepare for Threats to Their Families, Farms, Animals and Businesses
"This All-Hazard booklet was developed as a resource for citizens of rural agricultural communities - individuals, farmers and producers, businesses - with the hope of raising awareness of the natural and man-made threats to these communities and their commodities. These threats can include natural disaster situations (e.g., floods, tornadoes); biological emergencies (e.g., pandemic flu, food safety recalls) and man-made or technological threats (e.g., bio- or agro-terrorism, agrochemical situations). The booklet is divided into 4 sections: 1) general preparedness measures, 2) natural disasters hazards, 3) biological emergencies, 4) manmade or technological threats. Sections containing National and State contacts as well as sources for additional information are also provided. Each section contains an overview of the particular hazard and several informational handouts. The handouts are presented in a check list format to help guide individuals in rural communities in preparing for a particular hazard before it occurs, during the event, and recovering from the situation."
