San Francisco has provided over 120 specific job action sheets for public health professionals who are responding to various aspects of an infectious disease emergency. The job action sheets are based on San Francisco's functional Infectious Disease Emergency Response plan, which uses a NIMS-compliant Incident Command System organization structure. They divide infectious disease response into command, finance, logistics, operations, and planning structures, and they are organized to guide non-epidemiologists who must assume new roles during a surge event. The job action sheets are well organized, comprehensive, and could easily be adapted to other jurisdictions.
