COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to provide emergency response management personnel, public health and public safety professionals, and residents of small, rural, and remote communities with the general knowledge necessary to begin planning for situations requiring the isolation and/or quarantine (IQ) of a large portion of a local, rural population. A rural community's ability to collectively respond to an emergency requiring isolation and quarantine is not only essential to minimize the negative impacts to the community at risk, but also to minimize the long-term negative economic and health effects on the American public as a whole. This course will include: Course overview, Introduction to IQ, Legal and ethical issues of IQ, Roles and responsibilities during an IQ incident - preparedness, planning, response, and support considerations, Communication strategies for IQ response, IQ emergency response activity, IQ resources, glossary, acronyms and abbreviations.
