Free Ebola Protocol Resource for PSAPs from IAED

NENA encourages the use of the IAED’s Emerging Infectious Disease Surveillance (EIDS) Tool for centers working on how to handle Ebola-related preparedness. The tool is available for use by any call center. IAED’s CBRN Fast Track Committee of the Council of Standards first issued dispatch-relevant information followed by an Ebola-based modification of the SRI Tool in ProQA on 8/8/14. Based on evolving information and input from CDC, WHO, NENA and others, the Academy has revised and re-issued the SRI/MERS/Ebola Surveillance protocol in software several times since and the current version was updated on Oct. 20, 2014.

For more information, visit the IAED website. NENA thanks the IAED for making this information available.
