Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment
These dollars support the work of Weld County staff, regarding emergency epidemic
preparedness activities.The activities are associated with naturally occuring outbreaks to test
communication plans and epidemic response plans.
Focus Area A: Smallpox Planning Activities
Personnel Services $49,557.00
Indirect $6,908.00
Total Budget $56,465.00
Smallpox Justification:
During 2002,the incidence of West Nile virus in Weld County forced us to activate our
emergency response plan to alert and educate the public and monitor, control and contain
the virus.This was a test of our emergency response in Weld County.
Both West Nile and Small Pox arc communicable diseases and the possibility exists that
an outbreak of human cases could occur in Weld County. We now can use the West Nile
experience and the Small Pox mass plan as models or templates for the overall
emergency response plan.
During June,July and August,we have more clinic walk-tbrus planned,staff training for
clinic managers,incident command training in July for HD staff;table top exercise in
July,the two day BT conference on July 14 and 15.

1.
Justification of the WestNile/BT link:
While endemic to other areas of the world for decades,the West Nile Virus was not introduced to
the United States until 1999.To date,it has not been confirmed whether that introduction was
accidental or intentional. If intentional,introduction of the virus and its associated disease would
be considered an act of biological terrorism.Considering the psychological and economic impact
that the virus and disease has had on this country,the potential terrorist act has been a success.
Introduction of the West Nile Virus to this country has provided Public Health Agencies with an
opportunity establish a template for responding to other biological agents that may emerge as a
result of a bioterrorist act. By responding to WNV,this agency has developed the infrastructure
necessary to:
Track the spread of infected species
Predict areas of infectivity
Implement disease control plans and procedures
Provide detection/testing surveillance
Provide education/prevention to public
Anticipate/plan for future problems
Etc.,etc.,etc.
All of which would be necessary to have in place to be as prepared as possible for an act of
biological terrorism
Additionally,the CDC has identified these types of Zoonotic Transmissions as being likely and
easy methods for terrorist acts,without easy identification of the source.
REMEMBER: The goal of a terrorist is to: Instill fear,panic,and cause economic distress,not
necessarily to have extensive human casualties.
