Outbreak Response Toolkit
The following information is intended to help state and local health
departments respond to outbreaks associated with diseases related
to drinking water. While some downloadable documents below are cryptosporidiosis-specific,
they can also be used as models when creating similar documents for
other pathogens. Likewise, though this page was produced by CDC's
Division of Parasitic Diseases, some of the information below can
be used or adapted for use in non-parasitic drinking water-related
outbreaks. All documents can be downloaded and altered as needed.
