Responding to an Outbreak of Cholera in Schools Objectives of the Presentation This session aims to: provide an overview of cholera. discuss the measures for alleviating the impact of an outbreak of cholera in schools.

Responding to an Outbreak of Cholera in Schools Background The ODPEM Jamaica includes schools in its disaster management plan. School personnel and youths are being trained in disaster management. The major stakeholders are UNICEF and the GOJ ODPEM (2010). Disaster plan to be developed for child care facilities. Retrieved from:
