Jurisdictions that do not use spontaneous or other volunteers due to state regulations must describe in their plans how they plan to handle those types of volunteers during an incident.  Leverage existing government and non-governmental volunteer registration programs, such as ESAR-VHP and Medical Reserve Corps (MRC). Domain Strategy 6: Strengthen Biosurveillance Biosurveillance is the ability to conduct rapid and accurate laboratory tests to identify biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear agents; and the ability to identify, discover, locate, and monitor - through active and passive surveillance - threats, disease agents, incidents, outbreaks, and adverse events, and provide relevant information in a timely manner to stakeholders and the public. Associated Capabilities  ● Capability 12: Public Health Laboratory Testing  ● Capability 13: Public Health Surveillance and Epidemiological Investigation Domain Activity: Conduct Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation Deliverable Applies To Due Date Local jurisdictions should continue to create, maintain, support, and strengthen routine surveillance and detection systems and epidemiological processes. Local jurisdictions should evaluate surveillance and epidemiological investigation outcomes to identify deficiencies encountered during responses to public health threats and incidents and recommend opportunities for improvement. Conduct border health surveillance activities. The focus on cross-border preparedness reinforces public health whole community approach, which is essential for local-to-global threat risk management and response to actual events regardless of source or origin.  Have or have access to trained personnel to manage and monitor routine jurisdictional surveillance and epidemiological investigation systems.
