It’s all about your resources Disaster – any event that overwhelms a
community’s capacity to respond May or may not be different than an
emergency Dependent upon available resources
![Page 10: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Risk of a Disaster
RISK = HAZARD x VULNERABILITY – RESOURCES

Health Emergencies: Hazards & Resources
Public Health Impact vs.
Public Health Role
![Page 15: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Emergency Ops
Potential Impact and Role(s) depend on the disease:– Anthrax v. Pandemic Influenza
• Contagious• Incubation • Response Timeline• Prophy v. Treatment
Many unique variables to consider in spread and control of disease
![Page 16: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Community Mitigation: Goals
Centers for Disease Control. Interim Pre-Pandemic Planning Guidance: Community Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Mitigation in the United StatesDepartment of Health & Human Services, USA, 2007.
![Page 17: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Public Health Response
Mitigation Tools: Isolation & Quarantine Vaccines Anti-Virals
![Page 18: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Isolation
– The physical separation of people who have a specific communicable disease from healthy people and the restriction of movement to stop the spread of disease
![Page 19: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Quarantine
– Quarantine refers to the separation and restriction of movement of people who are NOT yet ill, but who have been exposed to an infectious agent and are therefore potentially infectious
– Quarantine lasts for the longest known incubation period for the applicable disease
![Page 20: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Vaccines & Anti-Virals
Use will depend on type and nature of disease— epidemiology of disease
Vaccines (generally) used in anticipation of exposure-to prevent population from becoming ill
Anti-Virals—i.e. Tamiflu—used to lessen effects of illnesses on exposed and/or sick individuals
No Magic Bullet

Biological Terrorism
The use of biological agents to intentionally
produce illness or intoxication in a
susceptible population

Biological Terrorism
Disease causing microbes Uncommon Capable of causing widespread illness Patients may require advanced medical
treatments

Anthrax 2001
October 4, 2001 – CDC reported a case of anthrax in a 63-year-old resident of Florida
23 cases (19 confirmed/4 suspect) Not Contagious…spread by inhaling robust spores Releases toxins that cause highly lethal
pneumonia

Influenza
![Page 26: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What is Influenza? Virus RNA Based
– Messy 3 Types of Influenza
– A: Many animals, quite common, ie H1N1– B: Humans only, less common– C: Several animals, even less common
Type A:– H (16) and N (9)
![Page 27: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Influenza: Seasonal, Swine and So Forth
Drift v. Shift Drift: slow change over time
– Messy replication Shift: abrupt introduction of new type Previous Shifts:
– 1918-”Spanish Flu”– 1957-”Asian Flu”– 1968-”Hong Kong Flu”– 2009-”?”
![Page 28: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Seasonal, Swine and So Forth Seasonal
– Fairly common during winter months– Widespread illness, up to 36,000 deaths/year in U.S.
Pandemic– Uncommon– Global focus– Potential for approximately 36% of the population being ill
Avian – Primarily a bird disease– Many types; commonly found in birds– Rare human cases
Swine– A pig disease, many types– Many types; some can affect humans
![Page 29: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
H1N1: What do we know
Novel virus: Recombinant pieces from swine, avian and human influenza
Sudden appearance spring 2009– “Index cases” San Diego and Imperial Counties
Rapid spread throughout world Antigenically stable
– Drift v. Shift Is and will be dominant flu strain
![Page 30: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
H1N1: What do we know
![Page 31: Public Health Emergencies & Flu 101. Outline Public Health in Los Angeles County Public Health Impacts of Emergencies Influenza - What is it - Types.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf09d2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What don’t we know
How many people will become ill? How many people will be hospitalized? How many people will die from this virus? Will vaccines work?
– Seasonal v. H1N1 specific Will anti virals work?
What is Public Health to do?

Vaccines: Name of the Game Push v. Pull Strategy
– Push: Private Medical Plan Partnerships– Pull: Community Partnerships– 80/20 split
Difficult Planning Challenge– Availability of Vaccine– How Many PODs?
HOW MUCH STAFF?
