From Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) to E.coli outbreaks, public health threats are occurring on international, national and local levels with greater regularity and challenging Public Health Units to adopt solutions to deal with these emerging and complex threats. Pandemics and public health outbreaks can originate from natural/organic sources or man-made threats. Depending on the nature of the outbreak, challenges can range from early detection, mitigating panic and civil unrest to biodefense. In all of these situations public health organizations need to have proper situational awareness, and the ability to collaborate and share information across multiple agencies.
To address and improve preparedness and response to a Pandemic/CBRNE event, AMITA is focused on partnering with Public Health Organizations to find new solutions to these emerging threats. AMITA has extensive expertise in the medical triage and transport of casualties in a large scale incident as well as in the field of syndromic surveillance - the science of monitoring indicator variables for the early detection an outbreak prior to the establishment of diagnosis by traditional means.
