National Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan

An Emergency Preparedness and Response plan (EPR) describes strategies, resources, plans, procedures and utilities that can be used to prepare for and respond to emergencies be it natural or man-made, that threaten the existence of life, or the environment. These emergencies can range from small to large-scale events. This EPR plan builds on the emergency preparedness and response (EPR) plan developed in 2011 and updated in 2016. It is intended to guide preparedness and response activities for timely, comprehensive, and coordinated county-led, nationally supported response actions to public health threats in accordance with the 3rd edition National Technical Guidelines for Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) in Liberia1.

This plan focuses on preparedness and response activities before, during, and after a public health emergency. It serves as a complement to the Liberia IDSR guidelines, which outlines surveillance, triggers, alert notification, alert verification, field investigation and response procedures
