Infection Control Toolkit FOR EMERGENCIES AND DISASTERS

The International Infection Control Council (I2C2) is a partnership of CHICA-Canada, APIC and ICNA (UK). In 2002, it published the Infection Control Toolkit: Strategies for Pandemics and Disasters. With the advent of SARS and the H5N1 influenza virus, as well as other natural disasters and disease outbreaks since 2002, the I2C2 recognized the need to update and revise the previous toolkit. The content has been updated and reformatted into the newest version Infection Control Toolkit for Emergencies and Disasters. The purpose of the toolkit is to assist IPCPs in the preparation and implementation of plans for emergencies and disasters.
