| Popis: | In 2006, the Alabama Department of Public Health, through the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s South Central Center for Public Health Preparedness, sponsored a series of infectious disease outbreak exercises in Alabama’s six hospital planning regions. The six exercises were conducted in rural and metropolitan areas and were designed to be full-scale assessments of multiagency and multijurisdictional responses to an infectious disease outbreak. This article details the lessons learned from the exercises and collaborations of academia with the public health practice and emergency response communities. We provide the results for our qualitative assessment with the hope that this information can identify trends and potential issues applicable to regions and future disasters outside of Alabama. Thus, while these exercises took place in one state, the trends we observed may be generalizable to other locales as well. |
