What is the epidemic control toolkit?\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the previous three modules, we have learned about epidemics, the role of community volunteers, the main principles of controlling epidemics, and community actions in different phases of a response.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, our knowledge of the diseases that cause epidemics is still general in character. When we work in the community in a real epidemic, we will need to know much more about the disease we have to deal with, as well as how it is transmitted, and how it can be prevented and managed.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA specific disease requires a specific response. We will need to prepare appropriate messages about the disease so that community members can protect themselves and prevent the epidemic from spreading.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis is the purpose of the toolkit. Practical and action-oriented, easy to follow and simple, it is designed to guide you through epidemics. When an epidemic strikes, you will not have a lot of time to remember everything you learnt in this training. You should rely on the toolkit to help you remember and to tell you what to do, enabling you to act quickly and appropriately to help others.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe toolkit has three major components:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDisease tools.\u003C\/strong\u003E These describe the diseases that can cause epidemics.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAction tools.\u003C\/strong\u003E These describe actions that need to be taken in epidemics.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommunity message tools.\u003C\/strong\u003E You will use these in your health promotion and risk communication activities to deliver messages to the community about what they should and should not do to protect themselves.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EPart 4.1.2. When do we use the toolkit?\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe will use the toolkit in the training to learn about the tools and how to use them. In the event of an epidemic, the toolkit will help you respond.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESo how do we use it?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBecause the toolkit is based on disease tools, we first need to know what disease is causing people to fall ill, and whether the rise in illness is, properly speaking, an epidemic.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThese questions can only be answered by the health authorities. They confirm what disease is causing illness, on the basis of evidence provided by health professionals and laboratories. They also decide whether the number of sick persons is such that the event should be considered an epidemic.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EYou should be prepared to use the toolkit when the health authorities identify the disease and declare an epidemic. Do not base your actions on rumours, news, talk or any sources other than the Ministry of Health and the health authorities. They alone are authorized to confirm an epidemic.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EVolunteers can and should take certain actions before an epidemic is confirmed, however. The toolkit is also designed to help you with such early response activities. (See Module 3, session 3.1.)\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOnce the epidemic is confirmed, you should follow the plan that has already been prepared.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EContact your local Red Cross Red Crescent National Society focal point.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EParticipate in rapid refresher training. If you are a new volunteer, learn the basics of epidemic control.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EDiscuss the supplies you need with your National Society focal point.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EObtain the toolkit and start assembling it, based on the disease that is causing the epidemic. (We will learn how to do this next.)\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EKeep in contact with fellow volunteers and coordinate how you will cover different responsibilities.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EStart working!\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/article\u003E\n","settings":null}]
