Emergency response plan. Both in laboratory collaboration and in teaching, the UW already has an extensive working relationship with the 6 northwestern states that will serve as the WWAMI RCE's framework for information dissemination, training and laboratory emergency response coordination. The WWAMI RCE is already well integrated with federal response plans in the region and nationally. The new USPHS Regional Health Administrator for Region X, CAPT Patrick O'Carroll is the most active Affiliate Associate Professor in the UW/SPHCM. He is now responsible for overall coordination of the public health response to bioterrorism in the region. Dr. O'Carroll previously set up CDC's Health Alert Network (HAN) to coordinate emergency communication between the federal government and state and local health agencies in the country. Before moving to the Region X position in 2003, he spent 4 of the last 6 years as a full-time CDC assignee to UW's NWCPHP to work specifically in the northwest region and to help set up the pioneering public health informatics research and training program at UW (http://phig.washington.edu/). Dr. Oberle, the Associate Dean for Public Health Practice at the UW School of Public Health coordinates collaborations with state and local institutions and organizations for the WWAMI RCE in addition to the UW School of Public Health. As an example of the UW collaboration with federal, state and local partners, UW last year hosted Washington State's pharmaceutical stockpile dispensing exercise, the first such state drill in the country after the anthrax epidemic. At the drill held on the UW campus, 269 "patients" exposed to anthrax were registered, evaluated, and treated using supplies from the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile. The exercise has resulted in two publications in presswith UW, state and local emergency response authors [26, 27]. The UW/NWCPHP has a network of 6 state public health training coordinators that meet quarterly and convened the first joint meeting with the 6 states' HAN directors and the 6 state bioterrorism preparedness coordinators. In addition, the UW/NWCPHP under the direction of Prof. Jon Counts, former director of the Washington State Public Health Laboratory, has a project with the public health laboratory directors in the 6 states to improve infectious disease laboratory practice. This group began meeting in 2002 and communicates via a newsletter and listserve and comprises the coordinators of CDC's Laboratory Response Network in the region for integration of laboratory surge capacity in managing laboratory specimens. The WWAMI RCE will interact with this group to determine which facilities at the RCE would be useful to Public Health Laboratories for surge capacity or specialized testing such as molecular characterization of strains, which include DNA sequencing, mass spectrometry protein characterization, and the genomic evaluation of strain similarity. At the local level in Seattle-King County, Dr. Jeff Duchin is both the director of the infectious disease control program at the Seattle King County Public Health responsible for bioterrorism response and is an Assistant Professor at UW in both Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and Epidemiology. Dr Duchin communicates almost daily with Infectious Disease clinicians throughout the state on issues of public health interest and he is a personal friend of the Director and Associate Director of the RCE. Immediately after the award of the WWAMI RCE grant, the investigators will utilize the next quarterly meeting of the 6-state network to evaluate other potential partners, and establish a plan to define a regional research role for the WWAMI RCE to assist in the response. The RCE Directors and Dr. Oberle will attend the regular quarterly meetings of the 6 state networks and they will keep the six-state network informed of the RCE research and infrastructure capability. In the event of a biodefense or emerging infectious disease emergency the Directors will be available to assist Dr. Patrick O'Carroll and other federal and state officials as necessary. The Directors will be available on a 24-hour basis by beeper and cell phone to assist in a response. Directors in case of an emergency.
