Title: Pacific Region Avian Influenza Training Workshop


1
Pacific Region Avian Influenza Training Workshop
  • August 1-5, 2006
  • Honolulu, Hawaii

2
Program Goals
  • Create an Avian Influenza education program that
    blends animal first-responder training, animal
    health training, and Global Positioning Systems
    (GPS) training.
  • Keep animal first-responders safe
  • Keep island poultry safe
  • Build networks that will facilitate
    collaboration, co-learning, and the transmission
    of accurate information.

3
Workshop Participants
  • A total of 18 participants came from islands
    across the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands
    American Samoa (2), Chuuk (2), Kosrae (2), Majuro
    (1), Palau (1), Pohnpei (3), Rota (1), Saipan
    (2), Tinian (2), and Yap (2).
  • 15 of the participants worked within a Land Grant
    college as either extension personnel or junior
    researchers 3 of the participants worked within
    health services.

Day 3 Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Training
  • Introduction to GPS and GIS technologies
  • Applications for GPS and GIS technologies within
    emergency management
  • Applications for GPS and GIS technologies within
    avian influenza surveillance plans and incident
    reporting databases

20
GPS Field Exercises
Participants have an opportunity for one-on-one
instruction while practicing with GPS units.
21
Compatible Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Program
  • During the week of August 1-5, 2006, the Pacific
    EMPRINTS project hosted a Geographic Information
    Systems workshop focusing on emergency situations
    involving an avian influenza outbreak.
  • 15 participants from the US-Affiliated Pacific
    Islands attended the GIS workshop.
  • The participants from both workshops learned
    about the each others role in the event of an
    avian influenza emergency.

22
Avian Influenza Participants Meet the Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) Participants
Understanding how the GPS data will be used is
critical for understanding the applications for
the technology in emergency management and Avian
Influenza surveillance and reporting.
23
Day 4 Avian Influenza Field Exercises
  • Participants were given the opportunity for
    hands-on response training.
  • Three Avian Influenza situations were developed
    representing the most probable AI encounters.
  • Response to a single bird death (with site
    containment)
  • Response to a multiple bird death
  • Dead bird sampling and shipping

24
Response to a Single Bird Death
With proper Personal Protective Equipment,
Jabukja Aikne (Majuro, Marshall Islands)
carefully double-bags the chicken carcass.
Later, he will disinfect the area with a 10
bleach solution and label the carcass.
While Jabukja is collecting the carcass, his
partner, Felix Sengeau (Palau, FSM), in the Cold
Zone, is collecting important information about
the site, including GPS data. This information
is collected on a Sample Submittal form.
25
Response to a Multiple Bird Death
Responding to a multiple bird death in a confined
space, the participants don complete Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE). Responders
carefully take throat and cloacae samples from
each bird and relay incident information to Cold
Zone partner. Outer surfaces of sample vials
are cleaned, and then passed to Cold Zone
partner for collection. Later, the carcasses
will be collected for disposal and surfaces will
be sanitized.
26
Dead Bird Sampling and Shipping
Wearing proper Personal Protective Equipment,
participants collect throat and cloacae samples,
properly label the sample vial and fill out a
sample submittal form. Then, participants place
the sample in a nitrogen-charged shipping
container.
27

    perform 12 specific skills or tasks during the
    training exercises

    sanitize work area after collecting samples
  • Dead Bird Response Skills/Tasks

    Skills/Tasks
  • Task 1 Demonstrate ability to obtain accurate
    GPS coordinates during training exercise

Community Educational Materialsby Dr. Thomas
Poole
31

  • 10 tyvek suits
  • 10 N95 respirators
  • 25 nitrile gloves
  • 20 booties
  • goggles
  • 2 spray bottles
  • 30 hand sanitizing wipes
  • Global Positioning System unit
  • pens, markers, tape, scissors
  • air-tight storage container
