been as diverse as it is today. While ICPs have been involved in emergency management since the 1990s, a formal role was first conceived in 2005 when an all-hazards approach was embraced by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology [1]. ICPs play an important role in emergency preparedness and management for: emerging diseases, pandemics, bioterrorism attacks, natural disasters and manmade mass casualties. The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in China has provided a burning platform for activating internal incident management systems (IMS), enhancing cross-sector planning, re-examining existing pandemic plans, optimizing communication pathways, and gearing up resources and training with ICPs leading the incident command. Collaborating with Emergency Preparedness/Management (EP/M) is vital to responding to emerging diseases. Through established processes, they are involved in activating the IMS, which can direct important resources to the planning table. The IMS structure provides a standardized organizational response that uses common functions, processes and terminology consistent throughout all partners in the healthcare system [2]. Once the Health Emergency Operations Centre (HEOC) is activated, stakeholders such as communications, occupational health and safety, logistics, operations, finance/administrative and planning can be added as needed since the system is modular and adaptable to current needs. Regular structured meetings with definitive action items improve accountabilities and prioritize needs. In Ontario, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) commission report revealed that the health system was working in silos [3]. Collaboration and clear communication during crisis are imperative to an effective response. Hospitals must reach out to their partners to ensure a consistent and evidence-based approach to implementing infection control strategies. In addition, sharing resources not only promotes consistency but also strengthens the entire system so that response efforts are distributed and local planning COVID-19: Are you prepared for the next emerging disease?
