Infection Prevention and Preparedness for Biological Events

Preventing and controlling infection during biological and emergency events such as pandemics, bioterrorism attacks, outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases or even a mass influx of people is an ever-evolving process. Health care leaders must adequately prepare for these events to ensure that health care workers, as well as communities, recognize and respond to emergency events. It is also necessary for health care facilities to be prepared to handle the unique challenges associated with these events.
