26/07/2018 at 8:59 am #74711Hi Belinda,
Have you checked the CDC site? Here is a document on the Public Health Emergency Response Guidehttps://emergency.cdc.gov/planning/responseguide.asp
rom CDC website;
Purpose of the Public Health Emergency Response GuideHealth department staff need readily accessible information and guidance to:
Prepare and train public health professionals,
Establish priorities in disaster responses, and
Act quickly and efficiently in emergencies and disasters.
To meet these needs, the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services (EEHS) has developed the Public Health Emergency Response Guide for State, Local, and Tribal Public Health Directors, an all-hazards public health emergency response guide.Public Health Roles and Responsibilities in Emergencies and Disasters
The Public Health Emergency Response Guide is a valuable resource for public health professionals who have the following roles and responsibilities:
Initiating the public health response during the first 24 hours (i.e., the acute phase) of an emergency or disaster.
Coordinating with the existing emergency response structures in specific types of incidents, such as floods, earthquakes, and acts of terrorism.
Information in the guide is consistent with the doctrine, concepts, principles, terminology, and organizational processes in the National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS).This is from their site also;

Hi Belinda,
A plan for cleaning and disinfection in the event of an outbreak would
depend on what type of organism was causing or suspected to be causing the
outbreak.Can you provide more details?

26/07/2018 at 12:08 pm #74715Hi Belinda
Like Glenys Harrington, I would also suspect that the need for additional cleaning and possibly even disinfection of a room would be organism-dependent.
Ideally one would like to think that the routine cleaning in non-outbreak situations would be sufficient with ramped up additional cleaning and/or disinfection (ideally using a waterless technology like UV) would be in cases where the environmental bioburden would logically be higher than “normal”. A classic example would be C. diff infection in a patient who was faecally incontinent.
Check out the current and draft revised NHMRC Guidelines and they should be instructive. Unfortunately, the draft guidelines version that was available for public comment was very conservative recommending sodium hypochlorite rather than UV disinfection. There will be many who argue against my view (including the systematic reviews NMHRC sponsored) but many of our US colleagues have had great success with implementing UV and other waterless systems of room disinfection. In many US organisations the use of these systems is now standard not just in outbreak situations. Hopefully, one day that will be the case in Australia.

HI All
Thanks Cath for your comments.
I also am disappointed regarding the opportunity for introduction of UV as
in the draft NHMRC guidelinesDo we have any further opportunity to discuss this?
