The Bioterrorist Attack on Food Case Study assignment
Case Study 9
Bioterrorist Attack on Food: A Tabletop Exercise
This exercise, developed by the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice,
*
is designed as an opportunity for public health personnel and their local emergency counterparts to gain skills and knowledge in preparing for and responding to a large-scale communicable disease event. Participants address a hypothetical bioterrorism incident in the form of an infectious disease outbreak to acquire this learning. The exercise enables participants to identify the communication, resources, data, coordination, and organizational elements associated with an emergency response. Discussion questions are embedded in the scenario as it unfolds.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Through review and discussion of this tabletop exercise, students will be able to:
• Understand measures that can be performed at the local level to prepare for a large-scale communicable disease or bioterrorism incident.
• Promote interagency collaboration/coordination regarding emergency preparation and responsiveness.
• Recognize the roles of a variety of public officials in a large-scale communicable disease or bioterrorism incident.
• Recognize the need for intense teamwork and communication to prepare for a large-scale communicable disease or bioterrorism incident.
• Identify gaps in local preparedness and ability to coordinate.
• Identify additional related training/learning needs (an assessment tool).
INTRODUCTION
This exercise is aimed at identifying the policy questions that must be considered in responding to a bioterrorism event. The depicted exercise scenario will enable participants to understand and experience the shortcomings or gaps in their ability to identify and respond to policy issues (as opposed to operational procedures). Participants will be required to state policy questions such as these: Who should be responsible? Or what information is needed? Or when is public information given out? In essence, participants will be identifying what is required in responding to an incident and not necessarily how an agency will actually respond. It is important that the exercise identify policies required to respond effectively to the scenario rather than using only those policies that currently exist. Addressing those policies that need clarification or development will be helpful in eventually strengthening the overall response system and will identify areas in operational policies and procedures that need refinement.

Event 1
Day 1, Friday
Persons with gastrointestinal illness are beginning to contact their medical care providers through the nurse hotline and patient consultation lines. Individuals with gastrointestinal problems are calling or visiting area emergency rooms and urgent care centers on Friday afternoon and evening. The hospital’s patient consultation line is experiencing an increased number of callers with symptoms including severe diarrhea, fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and possibly bloody stools. All cases describe diarrhea as a symptom. Almost all report at least two or more of the additional symptoms. Illnesses have lasted 1 to 2 days without improvement. Most patients are middle-aged adults, but approximately 10\% are over the age of 65. A total of 30 people are seen in hospital emergency rooms and urgent care centers by late Friday evening. (This means that a total of 400 individuals may be exhibiting similar symptoms but are not seeking medical care. The 30 cases, or 7.5\% of the 400, visit a medical care provider for symptoms.) Stool samples are taken for six of the affected cases seen by a physician. Three individuals are hospitalized for dehydration or other gastrointestinal complications.
Day 2, Saturday Morning
Patients are still being seen in the emergency room and urgent care centers. By 10:00 a.m., the number of patients exhibiting similar symptoms is up to 45. The decision is made to notify the health department. There is some concern about the capacity of the clinics to handle the increasing number of patients seeking treatment.

PART 2
Storyboard 2
The focus of attention is being directed toward food service establishments in the three counties as a result of patient interview data. Numerous establishments are being identified as places where interviewed patients have eaten or have purchased foods in the past week. Many are restaurants; however, specialty grocery stores are also being frequently mentioned.
Twelve identified restaurants are in Cedar County. One is in Dogwood County. All restaurants serve a high volume and variety of customers. They range from well-known, moderately priced, national chain restaurants to popular, high-scale dining establishments. Company executives, business leaders, attorneys, and government officials often eat at the affected city establishments. All are popular with tourists visiting both counties. Four establishments serve ethnic foods. Two are Mexican. The other two are Asian. Three affected restaurants have a history of poor food handling practices, particularly hand washing and temperature violations. None of the establishments have had violations of foods from unapproved sources.
The three specialty grocery stores are highly popular and have a high turnover of food inventory. All are owned and operated by the same company. Two of the specialty stores are in Cedar County. The third is located in Dogwood County. All food service establishments are served by public water but from different water utilities.
Event 7
Day 3, Sunday Morning

Shigellosis Fact Sheet
• Typical symptoms of Shigellosis include severe diarrhea often accompanied by fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and possibly bloody stools. The incubation period is 1 to 7 days (usually 1 to 3 days). Fewer than 10\% of cases seek medical care, and fewer have confirmatory stool cultures performed. Complications such as dehydration may result in hospitalization, but deaths are rare.
