Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions. PHEP awardees should coordinate non-pharmaceutical interventions by developing and updating plans that include documentation of the applicable jurisdictional, legal, and regulatory authorities necessary for implementation in routing and incident-specific situations. Such plans must include necessary authorization for interventions with the following elements: individuals, groups, facilities, animals, food products, public works/utilities, and travel through ports of entry for state, local and territorial jurisdictions as appropriate. Plans should include consideration of the legal and planning issues for interventions such as isolation, quarantine, school and child care closures, workplace and community organization/event closure, and restrictions on movement. Activity 2: Ensure the Safety and Health of Responders Joint Requirements HPP and PHEP awardees, HCCs, and their members must equip, train, and provide resources necessary to protect responders, employees, and their families from hazards during response and recovery operations. Personal protective equipment (PPE), MCMs, workplace violence training, psychological first aid training, and other interventions specific to an emergency are all necessary to protect responders and health care workers from illness or injury and should be readily available to the health care workforce.
Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions. Introduction The Non-pharmaceutical Interventions (NPI) capability refers to the ability of health departments, in coordination with their partners, to recommend or implement non-drug and non-vaccine-based containment, mitigation or decontamination strategies in order to prevent or control disease, injuries, and exposures. NPIs are designed both to save lives and to alleviate the surge of individuals placing demands on the healthcare system during an emergency. The NPI pre-incident planning measure gauges the ability of health departments to identify and collaborate with partners to define roles for the development and implementation of NPIs and to identify factors that affect NPI implementation (e.g., legal barriers or intended and unintended consequences). The NPI response measure assesses a health department’s ability to bring key partners to the table to develop and/or implement an NPI at the time of an incident. Capability Functions This capability consists of the ability to perform the following functions:

Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions. It is the awardee’s responsibility to determine which entity or entities is responsible for completing a performance element. This can refer to the awardee central office, its regional or district offices, local health departments, etc. All entities responsible for completion of a given performance element must have completed the performance element in order to answer “Yes” to Question 2, above. Example #1 (decentralized state). In this state, there are 10 autonomous LHDs (or autonomous regions/districts, etc.) in the jurisdiction, but only 5 have been funded to complete a given performance element for this measure. For the awardee to enter “Yes” on Question 2 for that performance element, the 5 funded LHDs (not 10) must have completed it. If the awardee itself was responsible for completion of a different performance element, it could only enter “Yes” on Question 2 for its performance element once it has been completed by the awardee. Example #2 (centralized state with 8 regional or district offices). In this state, the awardee has determined that the main office and 4 of its 8 regional offices will be responsible for addressing all the performance elements for this measure in this budget period. The awardee will determine when it and these 4 regional offices have satisfactorily completed the performance element. Core Public Pre-Incident Once the main office and the 4 regional offices have done so, the awardee may enter “Yes” on Question 2 for those performance elements. If, in this example, the awardee main office is the only entity responsible for completing a performance element (i.e., it does not assign any responsibility to any of its regions), then it may enter “Yes” once it (the main office) has completed the performance element. Response Example #3 (Directly funded city). In this example, the directly funded city is the only entity responsible for all the performance elements for this measure. Therefore it will be able to enter “Yes” to Question 2 for each of the performance elements as it completes them.

Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions. Develop and implement protocols for rapid and appropriate public health actions, such as controlled movement, isolation, quarantine, or public health orders. Plans should include: • Alternate travel plans for individuals subject to controlled movement who are not allowed to travel by long-distance commercial conveyances, such as aircraft, ship, bus, or train; how jurisdictions will ensure permitted travel is conducted by noncommercial conveyances. • Whether federal public health travel restrictions (Do Not Board) will be used to enforce controlled movement. • Whether specific community locations will be designated for safe housing of persons subject to restricted movement and the role of public health orders and corresponding compensation and support to be provided to individuals under a public health order. • The role of public health in coordinating with healthcare facilities and jurisdictional authorities to ensure the separation (through isolation or quarantine) of an individual or group who is reasonably believed to be infected with Ebola from those who are not infected to prevent the possible spread to others who have not been exposed. • Work with CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) to screen travelers in their states who have entered the United States via cleared flights, broken itineraries, or land border crossing and have not undergone enhanced screening at one of the five airports conducting enhanced entry screening of travelers from Ebola-affected countries. Awardees will be required to conduct an initial Check and Report Ebola (CARE) screening with such travelers over the telephone, in person, or to designate appropriate public health outreach workers in local jurisdictions. • Support ongoing communication between the jurisdiction and its CDC quarantine station as applicable regarding coordination with identified hospitals that would support jurisdictional response to a communicable disease. For further information, see Interim U.S. Guidance for Monitoring and Movement of Persons with Potential Ebola Virus Exposure, including the application of movement restrictions when indicated. • Coordinate appropriate environmental cleaning and waste management in community settings (other than healthcare settings) where PUIs or those with probable or confirmed Ebola virus infections have been located.
