the spread of the disease. This course provides knowledge on how to detect and
confirm a cholera outbreak, elements of responding and controlling an outbreak,
when and how to undertake cholera preparedness, and presents resources available
to support these activities.

This course is intended primarily for public health professionals who are

emergency preparedness plans. The knowledge is offered through video lectures,
downloadable presentations, transcripts, and self-test that can be reviewed at
