The U.S. Department of Health and Human<unk>  (HHS) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response(ASPR), in addition to other federal, state, and local partners, aim to increase understanding of Ebola virus disease (Ebola)and encourage U.S.-based EMS agencies and systems to prepare for managing patients with Ebola and other infectious diseases. Every EMS agency and system, including those that provide non-emergency and/or inter-facility transport, should ensure that their personnel can detect a person under investigation (PUI) for Ebola, protect themselves so they can safely care for the patient, and respond in a coordinated fashion. Transmission of Ebola can be prevented by using appropriate infection control measures. EMS agencies, in conjunction with their<unk>  directors, should review infection control policies and procedures and incorporate plans for administrative, environmental, and communication measures.This checklist is intended to enhance collective preparedness and response by highlighting key areas for EMS personnel to review in preparation for encountering and providing<unk>  care to a PUI. The checklist provides practical and specific suggestions to ensure the agency is able to help its personnel detect possible Ebola cases, protect personnel, and respond appropriately.
