You are co-located in your employment with
the 911 dispatch center.
Starting July 4th, you note that the dispatch
center seems to be increasingly busy with
complaints of fever, headache, and cough.
About July 8th, the hospitals in an area of
town that boasts an amusement park and
picnic grove are on “divert” to EMS, as the
activate their “surge” program internally.
?
?
An increase in requests for EMS from primary
care providers is noted. Chest pain, cough,
and hypoxemia are prevalent. Ventilators are
in demand.
The Department of Health has begun their
investigation, and has requested CDC
Epidemiological Intelligence Service Teams
assistance, as several counties are now
reporting similar “syndromes”
?
A large number of primary cases appear to
have visited the amusement park during the
hot summer days around July 4.
? Most have acknowledged using the cooling
sprinkler during those visits.
? The nursing home in the same water district has
experienced an increased hospital admission rate
and moderate increased death rate
? Children and infirm residents in the same area are
also common hospitalized patients.
1. What “type’ of Hazardous Material/WMD
agent might this scenario represent?
2. Epidemiological surveillance has identified a

3. What agent might be implicated based on
the clinical picture?
4. How could this syndrome be altered?
5. What would the EOC do to facilitate the
response phase?
6. A team is dispatched to investigate your
presumed sources. What protective strategies
would you recommend?
7. What “investigations”, “assessments”, or
instruments would you recommend?
