Partner with MMRS public health Steering Committee members on drafting <br />emergency public information messages about the establishment of <br />quarantinelisolation areas. <br /> <br />. Explain why quarantine is a public health intervention taken only when other <br />actions have failed. Describe previous actions taken by the local public <br />health actions to control the spread of the infectious disease, and their failure <br />to prevent infectious disease transmission. <br /> <br />. Describe the public health/medical emergency requirements of the specific <br />disease outbreak containment practices decided by the health department <br />and included in the quarantine protocol, and actions to be carried out by <br />individuals inside and outside of the quarantine/isolation areas. <br /> <br />6. GIS. Jurisdictions should explore the types of GIS data available through the <br />Federal Geospatial-One-Stop portal, located at http://www.qeo-one-stop.qOv/, <br />and apply any of the available GIS tools deemed appropriate to support MMRS <br />risk assessment, planning, training, exercising, and operations. MMRS funds <br />may be spent on activities, when it is determined that "no cost" options are not <br />available, which combine, blend, populate with jurisdictionally-specific data, <br />and/or make interactive, sets of automated GIS tools; or which achieve <br />interoperability between automated GIS tools with other electronic information in <br />support of MMRS requirements. See Appendix I: Geospatial Guidance. <br /> <br />7. Updated MMRS Steerinq Committee.
