  9. The Laboratory Response Network (LRN) for BT • Public and Private Labs • Test According to Consensus Protocols • Timely and Accurate Testing and Reporting • Linked with Local, State, and Federal Agencies

  10. Why is New Jersey’s State Public Health Laboratory (PHL) Involved? • Mandate by Congress • Experience with Biological Agents of Concern and Outbreak Investigations • Link between Local Laboratory Level and CDC/Federal agencies

  11. LRN Laboratory Levels LEVEL D: CDC LEVEL C: Typing Labs, Public Health Labs LEVEL B: Public Health Labs LEVEL A: Clinical Labs

  12. Tasks by Capacity • BT Level A - Rule-out or Refer • BT Level B - Rule-In and Refer • BT Level C - Rule-in and Refer • BT Level D - Confirm, Validate, Archive

  13. Questions to Answer Concerning Your Lab • What is the BT level of my lab? • Is my lab active in the LRN? • Where is the nearest higher level lab? • What guidelines should be followed to package and ship biological agents? • Whom should I call?

  14. Level A Proceduresfor Bioterrorism Event • Properly collected specimens are to be referred to designated testing laboratories • Prior to the shipment of any specimen, the designated laboratory must be notified and approved by the State Health Department

  15. The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) Program Mission To deliver pharmaceuticals and medical materiel to the site of a national emergency.

  16. State Requests Federal Assistance Need for Drugs and Medical Supplies Exceeds Local & State Resources Augments Local/State Medical Materiel Resources CDC Director Deploys SNS Assets SNS Readiness/Response How SNS Assets are Deployed In Consultation with the Surgeon General, Secretary HHS, HHS Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP), FEMA and the FBI

  19. Strategic National Stockpile & Strategic State Stockpile Purpose: • Determine the State’s need for pharmaceutical and medical supplies in the event of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive mass casualty event Activities: • Planning for mass medication and/or mass vaccination acquisition and distribution • Preparing to meet needs of pediatric and geriatric communities

  20. State Stockpile Planning • “ChemPack Program” • State owned and managed assets 1. Potassium Iodide 2. State Owned Caches to be stored strategically in the State for deployment prior to the receipt of federal assets

  21. Strategic National Stockpile NJ Receiving, Staging, Storage • Private Partner Pharmaceutical Distributors will receive the federal push package, and use their resources to unpack and allocate (according to the DHSS’s orders) and ship out materials • Private Partner repackaging companies will provide for all our repackaging needs.

  22. Receiving, Staging, Storage Site 22 Local Agencies (LINCS Agency Health Departments ) Hospitals POD POD POD

  23. Point of Dispensing (POD) • Site Selection Considerations – accessibility, size, geography,familiarity to population • Operational Considerations – flow, information/education, staffing • Security • Policies for Operations

  24. Time Frames Request for SNS <12 hours later SNS arrives in NJ 12-24 Hours – SNS distributed to hospitals and counties 24-36 Hours – Pills in people

  25. Site Considerations • Do the math - protection from anthrax for 1,000,000 people in 48 hours • 20,833 per hour • 2,083 per hour for 10 sites • 1,042 per hour for 20 sites • 521 per hour for 40 sites • 260 per hour for 80 sites • 130 per hour for 160 sites
