Most outbreaks are small and localized in nature, although it is larger outbreaks that result in the most public attention. So, a solution to manage an outbreak has to be able to accommodate a response to small outbreaks in a single jurisdiction scalable up to outbreaks that involve thousands of cases across multiple jurisdictions and to handle different types of situations with different questions and response required. To make this happen, information and resources need to be shared more consistently and efficiently to help facilitate the communication that occurs at all levels and to support day-to-day operations in order to ensure consistent use.
