How do Emergency Services Coordinate During an Outbreak?
Coordination during an outbreak involves multiple steps:
1. Incident Command System (ICS): ICS is a standardized approach to command, control, and coordination of emergency response. 2. Interagency Collaboration: Agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and local health departments work together to manage the response. 3. Community Engagement: Public cooperation is vital; thus, engaging communities through education and transparent communication is crucial.
