Overview
The aim of this off-the-shelf exercise is to aid EU Member States, European Economic Area (EEA) and Enlargement countries to review, rehearse, and enhance their preparedness and response to an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease.
Exercise objectives
The objectives for this off-the -shelf package on Legionnaires disease outbreak response are:
to develop a shared understanding of risk and escalation triggers;
to review outbreak surveillance and control arrangements on the national, and/or regional, and/or local levels;
to consider interdependencies with national, regional, and local partners;
to review communication strategies and platforms used in an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease, including information exchange with international partners.
Context
Exercise Philadelphia consists of a series of questions for group reflection based on case scenarios that cover three different risk settings, considering community, hospital-, and travel-related cases. Each of these three modules can be exercised independently, or they can be used sequentially to cover multiple risk settings in one table-top exercise. The exercise materials are designed for face-to-face exercise participation but can also be adapted to a virtual setting.
