About the ToolKit
Public Health - Seattle & King County (Public Health) is forging new ground by creating this Toolkit to help local Public Health jurisdictions develop the capacity to respond to events that may require large-scale isolation and quarantine. The purpose of the Toolkit is to help your jurisdiction save time during your planning process.
This Toolkit is designed as a guide, not a substitute, for the collaborative planning process that each health jurisdiction must undertake with its wide cast of community response partners. The planning process, embedded in your local context is necessary to develop a plan that will be effective in your community. Your team may add or eliminate sections of the process that will best fit the planning needs of your jurisdiction.
Using the ToolKit
We understand that multiple lead actors will be involved in planning, and different stages of planning will progress at different paces. The work described in each section is not to be approached sequentially; rather, the content is broken out topically. This Toolkit has been designed so that topical sections can stand alone as well as intersect between topics.
Each topical section shares these common elements:
