What is Pandemic Influenza?
There are three characteristics that distinguish a flu pandemic from the seasonal flu outbreaks that occur every year.
What is Bioterrorism?
It is the use or threatened use of germs (biological weapons) in order to create fear and disease among a population for religious, political, ideological, financial, or personal purposes. *AZ Department of Health Services 1991
Bioterrorism is not new. It is dated back as early as 1346, and you may remember more recently in 1984 when a religious cult in Oregon contaminated salad bars with Salmonella to influence the outcomes of an election.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has classified six diseases as high priority agents or “A” list because they meet some or all of the following criteria
Can be spread person to person
High death rate or potential for public health impact
Potential for panic and social disruption
Special action is needed for public health preparedness

LINCS, established by the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services in conjunction with NJ’s local health departments, is an electronic information system that supports interactive reporting, health data analysis, and the efficient dissemination of public health information. As a statewide program LINCS agencies are working together in conjunction with the NJDHSS, local and county health units, Office of Emergency Management and other public officials to develop and operate a system which will greatly facilitate the rapid identification and assessment of, and coordinated response to, public health emergencies. The purpose of this program is to develop and expand core capacity, expertise and infrastructure for public health emergency preparedness at the local public health level. The CDC has defined Critical Capacities as the "core expertise and infrastructure to enable a public health system to prepare for and respond to bioterrorism, other infectious disease outbreaks, and other public health threats and emergencies." |
