Description

The purpose of this training is to provide emergency response management personnel with the general knowledge necessary to begin planning for situations requiring the isolation and quarantine (I&Q) of a large portion of a local, rural population. A rural community's ability to collectively respond to an emergency requiring isolation and quarantine (I&Q) 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 instructor-led training course will provide emergency managers and team members with:
• information on I&Q in a modern context;
•legal and ethical issues associated with I&Q; and
•preparedness, planning, response, and support considerations.

Course Objectives
•Develop an understanding of the challenges that rural communities face during an isolation and quarantine response, identify the legal and ethical considerations of isolation and quarantine, and implement the Whole Community approach to rural isolation and quarantine.
•Achieve a broad understanding of isolation and quarantine considerations in rural communities
•Have a general understanding of federal, state, and local isolation and quarantine authorities and legal preparations, and ensuring due process of law in a situation requiring isolation and quarantine of citizens.
•be able to describe the Whole Community approach to rural isolation and quarantine; specifically the roles and responsibilities of public health, public safety, and the private sector as they relate to isolation and quarantine, and the role that state and federal partners have in assisting with isolation and quarantine.
