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."

Isolation and Quarantine
"Isolation and Quarantine is the capability to protect the health of the population through the use of isolation and/or quarantine measures in order to contain the spread of disease. Isolation of ill individuals may occur in homes, hospitals, designated health care facilities, or alternate facilities. Quarantine refers to the separation and restriction of movement of persons who, while not yet ill, have been exposed to an infectious agent and may become infectious. Successful implementation will require that sufficient legal, logistical, and informational support exists to maintain these measures. Most experts feel that isolation and quarantine will not stop the outbreak and that if used, the focus will be on cases that might introduce the disease into the state or other geographic area."

Guidance for Developing a Plan for Interfacility Transport of Persons Under Investigation or Confirmed Patients with Ebola Virus Disease in the United States
From the Document: "State EMS [emergency medical services] officials and regional and state EMS planners can use this information to develop
regional transport networks, local transport plans, and standard operating procedures. Managers and medical
directors can use this guidance to develop procedures and protocols for their services to conduct interfacility
transport (including intrastate or interstate) of PUIs [persons under investigation] and patients with confirmed Ebola. They may also use the
information to prepare, educate, and train EMS personnel. Individual providers may use this information to stay
safe when responding to and transporting PUIs or patients confirmed to have Ebola."

Nonsimplicity: The Warrior's Way
From the Foreword: "In this latest work, 'Nonsimplicity: The Warrior's Way', Dr. Bruce West of the Army Research Office and Dr. Chris Arney of the United States Military Academy take on the task of challenging the US Army to 'think about the way we think.' The 4th Industrial Revolution is well under way and the unknowable implications of a world of 'smart,' connected devices will change how life is lived and wars are won. The US Army must change the way we think in order to change the way we fight. West and Arney state the problem precisely as: 'How do we shed the cognitive constraints of Machine Age thinking and learn to apply nonsimplicity thinking to Information Age problems?'"

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."

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."
