Infectious Diseases. During an infectious disease outbreak, HPP and PHEP awardees, HCCs, and HCC members all have roles in planning for and responding to outbreaks that stress either the capacity or the capability of the public health or health care delivery systems. ASPR and CDC require that awardees and HCCs coordinate the following activities to ensure the ability to surge to meet the demands during a highly infectious disease response. Establish a common operating picture that facilitates coordinated infectious disease information sharing among all HCC members and relevant stakeholders, including state, local, and territorial public health agencies and their respective preparedness programs, state public health laboratories, communicable disease programs, and health care-associated infections (HAI) programs. o PHEP awardees should ensure infectious disease response planning includes state and local emergency management, partners responsible for airports and international points of entry into the United States, including CDC quarantine stations of jurisdiction, public safety, and other relevant agencies and community partners. Planning should include identification and management of potentially infected interstate and international travelers and acquisition and deployment of immunizations and prophylactic medication as appropriate. Develop or update plans to describe how jurisdictional public health departments will: o Monitor known cases or exposed persons including how surveillance will be shared, o Conduct short- and long-term follow-up of known or suspected households, and o Ensure the security of storage and retrieval of sensitive information. Establish key indicators, critical information requirements, and EEI that will assist with timing of notifications, alerting, and coordinating responses to emerging or re-emerging infectious disease outbreaks of significant public health and health care importance, including novel or high- consequence pathogens. Provide real-time information through coordinated information sharing systems (see Capability 2, Objective 3, Activity 4 of the 2017-2022 Health Care Preparedness and Response Capabilities and Capability 6: Public Health Preparedness Capabilities: National Standards for State and Local Planning) and ensure that information is directed to the public and to the many disciplines that comprise the responder community.
