The United Kingdom Parliament: Emergency Planning Coordination Unit - Deliberate Overt Release of smallpox

The United Kingdom Parliament: Emergency Planning Coordination Unit - Deliberate Overt Release of smallpox

"

Smallpox: Overt deliberate release

‘Aíde-memoire’ to assist DsPH and CsCDC in the Public Health Response: Complemented by information on PHLS website.

The following tasks and key actions should be covered in your response plan.

...In the case of overt release of a biological agent in a public place, there are likely to be large numbers (hundreds, perhaps thousands) person exposed. The remainder will be evacuated from the scene. The Police have the responsibility for public order and, the Police would move the crowd to a suitable place of safety where the Fire or Ambulance Service would decontaminate potentially exposed persons. Decontamination would require showering, clothing to be removed and double bagged.

...Provision of smallpox vaccine, survey materials, information leaflets and monitoring instructions to designated place of safety

  • Confirm with DH arrangements for distribution of pod(s) to designated receiving centre(s)
  • Arrangements for health workers to obtain their requirements of vaccine, forms and leaflets from pod(s)
  • Local leaflet and form production if initial stocks insufficient
"

So, if there's one mad geezer with the disease, in it's most disgusting final stages, down London's Underground, perhaps, several suicide mad Muslims, on their way to the 17 virgins promised by Allah; and there isn't enough vaccination available, we're to fill in photocopied forms.

Interesting stuff in this site, I mean what the &*%@ is Tularaemia?

We're on version 2, updated way back in 12 August 2002. Version 1 was in 1998. 9/11 put a rocket up their arse. One thing bin Laden did wrong, he sent a powerful message that he was coming with 9/11. If he hadn't he could have devastated us, as it is we're at least a little prearranged, though judging by the state of these guidelines, there's no mention of procedures (or forms to fill in:-) for mass vaccination, just containment policies - madness!
