Abstract
A practical guide covering virtually every detail that must be considered when mobilizing public health services to cope with an epidemic. Because of the dual requirements of adequate preparedness and immediate action, the book functions as both a text covering the principles of emergency service and a quick reference to the dos and donts of action at each stage of an emergency caused by any communicable disease. The text follows the order of steps that should be taken in emergencies: organization of the emergency health service, instigation of field investigations, analysis of the results, implementation of control measures, and post-epidemic evaluation. To prepare health services for quick decisions and rapid response, the text is accompanied by more than 50 model forms, checklists, inventories, charts, and diagrams illustrating steps of analysis and actions to take. An additional 27 tables are included in the annexes, which provide further guidance on diagnosis, prevention of disease transmission, and the collection and shipment of specimensCitation
