Emergency Response Planning covers the organization of emergency response efforts on the federal, state and local levels. It defines public health priorities for effective consequence management, and it explains the concepts around ICS (Incidence Command Structure). Finally, it details an example of how ICS was used in a live situation by a local health department. The concepts behind an Emergency Operations Plan—and future directions for such plans and the role of the CDC in providing leadership for emergency preparedness—will be discussed.
