Common use of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions Clause in Contracts

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. 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.
