Chapter 4 : Operational aspects of disease surveillance after disaster

While a complete discussion of operational considerations of surveillance after disaster is beyond the scope of this manual, there are four aspects which specially warrant inclusion. These are the investigation in the field of rumors and reports of communicable disease; gaining access to laboratories for obtaining definitive diagnoses and support in epidemiologic investigation; presenting epidemiologic information to decision makers: and carrying out surveillance activities during the recovery phase and afterward.
