With the rapid and concerning emergence of the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, I thought it might be helpful to share a slide set from my time as Incident Manager for the 2014-16 West Africa Ebola outbreak. This goes through the history of the outbreak, describes the response pillars we used, the targeted house to house effort to halt spread, and lessons learned from viewing the outbreak as a systems problem as much as an infectious disease problem.
