Book (series)Good emergency management practice: the essentials
A guide to preparing for animal health emergencies
2011A disease emergency is one of the most challenging situations a veterinary service can confront. Veterinary services must be well prepared to deal with such an emergency in order to achieve rapid and cost-efficient control. To do this, the veterinary services must be prepared. They must have a well developed plan and the capacity to implement the plan. This manual sets out in a systematic way the elements required to achieve an appropriate level of preparedness for any disease emergency in animals. In particular, this manual focuses on the control of transboundary animal diseases. Some of the principles presented may also be helpful in preparing for food safety, zoonotic and even non-infectious disease emergencies. -
