The Components of the Bio-Response Template

When responding to a bioterrorist attack, the following aspects of response must be timely and well coordinated: medical surveillance to detect the attack; making quick, rapid and appropriate response decisions; implementing the pre-existing response plans; distribution of prophylaxis; ability to keep up with the flow of sick and "worried well"; and ability of response system to receive and rapidly utilize outside help. In consonance with these aspects of response, the following major functions comprise a full-spectrum and integrated response approach. This approach is called the bio-response template.
