2019 Novel Coronavirus: Interim Health Guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for Air Carriers and Crews
From the Purpose: "The United States has confirmed cases of individuals who have a contagious, respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus ('2019-nCoV') first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. This virus has rapidly spread across China and Chinese health officials have reported thousands of infections with 2019-nCoV in China, with evidence of the virus spreading from person-to-person in many parts of that country. [...] The CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] are providing the following health guidance for: U.S.-based flight and cabin crewmembers while in China; U.S.- and third country-based flight and cabin crewmembers upon arriving to the United States within 14 days of travel to, from, or within China; China-based flight and cabin crewmembers while in the U.S.; U.S. air carriers housing flight and cabin crews while in China; and U.S. air carriers supervising self-monitoring of flight and cabin crews who have had layovers in China."

2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) [Fact Sheet]
From the Document: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring an outbreak of novel coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and continues to expand. As news spread, military health officials say that an informed, common sense approach minimizes the chances of getting sick. Anyone contracting a respiratory illness shouldn't assume novel coronavirus; it is far more likely to be a more common malady. In fact, influenza is far more commonplace. However, patients who traveled to China in the past 14 days with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, should seek medical care right away. Because novel coronavirus is new, there is as yet no immunization nor specific treatment. Care providers are instead treating the symptoms--acetaminophen to reduce fever, lozenges and other treatments to soothe sore throats, and, for severe cases, ventilators to help patients breathe."

Infectious Disease Threats: Funding and Performance of Key Preparedness and Capacity-Building Programs, Report to Congressional Committees
"An infectious disease threat is unique because of the transmissibility of diseases and the mobility of human populations, among other reasons. Infectious disease threats in recent years--such as Zika and Ebola outbreaks--have heightened the United States' attention to future potential threats, and raised questions about the nation's preparedness and response capabilities.A congressional report included a provision for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to report on the U.S. public health system's current capacity to respond to infectious disease threats. This report describes (1) funding HHS [Department of Health and Human Services] has made available to awardees--states and other jurisdictions--through its key preparedness and capacity-building programs--ELC [Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases], HPP [Hospital Preparedness Program], and PHEP [Public Health Emergency Preparedness]; and (2) these programs' performance measurement data on the awardees'infectious disease preparedness capacity. To do this work, GAO analyzed HHS's data on awards provided to awardees through the three key programs using annual and supplemental appropriations, and interviewed HHS officials and non-federal stakeholders about such funding. GAO identified non-federal stakeholders representing medical and public health associations, research centers, and others through a review of relevant literature, as well as prior GAO work. GAO also reviewed the most recently available data on awardee performance on 20 measures directly related to infectious disease preparedness collectively used by the three programs. GAO categorized these 20 measures into four preparedness capacity areas."

CERC: Psychology of a Crisis
From the Document: "Crises, emergencies, and disasters happen. Disasters are different from personal and family emergencies, and not just because they are larger in scale. Disasters that take a toll on human life are characterized by change, high levels of uncertainty, and complexity. In a crisis, affected people take in information, process information, and act on information differently than they would during non-crisis times. People or groups may exaggerate their communication responses. They may revert to more basic or instinctive fight-or-flight reasoning. Effective communication during a crisis is not an attempt at mass mental therapy, nor is it a magic potion that fixes all problems. Nonetheless, to reduce the psychological impact of a crisis, the public should feel empowered to take actions that will reduce their risk of harm. This chapter will briefly describe how people process information differently during a crisis, the mental states and behaviors that tend to emerge in crises, how psychological effects are different in each phase of a crisis, and how to communicate to best reach people during these changing states of mind."

Stockpiling Antiviral Drugs for Pandemic Influenza: The Key Ethical Principles
From the Document: "The National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza emphasizes that planning and preparedness are shared responsibilities of all levels of government, businesses, and individuals. This concept of 'shared responsibility' has been proposed for the purchase and stockpiling of antiviral drugs in preparation for pandemic influenza. Antiviral drugs for the treatment of persons who become ill during a pandemic have been purchased and stockpiled by the federal and state governments. A working group that included representatives from government and public health recently recommended that pandemic antiviral drug strategies be expanded to also include prophylaxis (preventive use) for healthcare and emergency service providers and for household contacts of persons who have pandemic illness. Businesses also are encouraged to consider stockpiling antiviral drugs for their critical employees as a component of a comprehensive pandemic plan."

Strategic National Stockpile: Safe Shelter Contingency Planning for Point of Dispensing Sites
"Jurisdictions' point of dispensing (POD) site annexes to their Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) Plan should consider including a contingency plan that details a safe shelter for people who receive medication. This contingency plan can address a means for maintaining order by moving people receiving medication inside or by providing shelter outside of the POD site. The plan should ensure that the people receiving medication who are sheltered outdoors are protected from rain, heat, and cold."

International Lessons to Improve Mass Fatality Management During a Pandemic Influenza Event
"High mortality incidents are rare in the United States but they frequently occur overseas. However, the lessons from these incidents are rarely captured and applied to the domestic decision-making process. In order to review and analyze information from past international experiences in mass fatality management [MFM], key participants were interviewed from six case studies of catastrophic events from the last ten years (1998-2008). Mass fatality management strategies, successes and failures, and lessons regarding coordination and operational procedures were collected from these past international events. Current interagency emergency structures relating to mass fatality management were examined for five nations and for the United States on both a national and state level. Of the six national emergency response frameworks reviewed, the United Kingdom presented the most inclusive plans on mass fatality management. For the US state level, only 46% of US state pandemic influenza plans analyzed address mass fatality management. Considerations, derived from both past events and current mass fatality planning, are identified for US policy in the areas of preparedness, organization, communications, and operations. Internationally, a common international MFM framework would facilitate identification, disposition, and possible repatriation of remains and would be beneficial in cross border mass fatality events like pandemic influenza."

LLIS Best Practice: Crisis Communications Planning: Establishing Joint Information Centers
"A JIC [Joint Information Center] is either a physical or 'virtual' operation where public information staff representing all agencies and organizations involved in incident management activities coordinate and disseminate official, timely, accurate, easy to understand, and consistent information to the public. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) includes procedures on the responsibilities and operations of a JIC. State and local emergency response departments and agencies should be familiar with NIMS procedures and have plans in place for establishing or operating within a JIC."

Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, 2008 (Update: May 2019)
From the Executive Summary: "The Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, 2008, presents evidence-based recommendations on the preferred methods for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of patient-care medical devices and for cleaning and disinfecting the healthcare environment. This document supercedes the relevant sections contained in the 1985 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guideline for Handwashing and Environmental Control. Because maximum effectiveness from disinfection and sterilization results from first cleaning and removing organic and inorganic materials, this document also reviews cleaning methods."
