MGT-432	Isolation and Quarantine for Rural Public Safety Personnel	Mobile/Non-Resident	RDPC	3.25	Emergency Management, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Service, Governmental Administrative, Law Enforcement, Health Care, Public Health, Public Safety Communications, Security and Safety, Other	Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical Services	Rural Isolation and Quarantine	Respond	NTED	Isolation and quarantine (I&Q) have been used as disease-control methods for centuries. The new century, though, introduced the public to new, dangerous, and prolific diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and H1N1 influenza (“swine flu”). The discovery of Ebola, the emergence of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), and the potential threat of bioterrorism have pushed the need for isolation and quarantine preparedness back into the responder purview. Modern conditions have left many responders, especially in rural and remote communities, without the knowledge and training they need for activating or coordinating aid for isolation and quarantine response. Focus on urban areas, where large, dense populations can spread disease rapidly, and lack of funding for rural first responders has exacerbated these conditions. Further, though certain aspects of isolation and quarantine are federally regulated, standard operating procedures, authorities, strategies, and statutes relating to isolation and quarantine and disease control methods vary from state to state. Without uniform standards across the response community, it is likely many response agencies have unclear understandings regarding how and when to implement, manage, and demobilize isolation and quarantine measures. The purpose of this course is to provide small, rural, and remote communities with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively plan for and respond to events that require isolation and/or quarantine of their populations in a variety of low- and high-impact situations.
