This issue of the SAMHSA sponsored quarterly technical assistance bulletin has an article featuring PPC Project Director Denise Bulling where she answers the question: How can disaster behavioral health responders at the State and local levels use the techniques and tools of the Incident Command System (ICS) to target their response to and preparedness for disaster to work within the overall disaster response structure?
- Nebraska Behavioral Health Guidelines for Medical Isolation (March 2007):
These guidelines were created to assist Nebraska hospitals in meeting the behavioral health needs of patients who are subject to in-patient isolation precautions. It provides background information related to stress and isolation precautions and guidelines for providing services to patients in isolation, their families, staff, and the community. The appendices include a template policy that can be adapted to meet the specific requirements of Nebraska hospitals and resources for use within hospital settings.
- Nebraska Behavioral Health Situation Manual - Avian Influenza (July 2006):
This situation manual is designed to test the organized behavioral health response to disaster via a formal tabletop exercise and includes a hypothetical situation in which avian influenza has been detected in poultry. The manual was used by Nebraska in July 2006 to test regional behavioral health plans in coordination with regional disaster chaplains, local public health districts, and the State Department of Agriculture.
