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.
