Starting at the top and looking more deeply into risk and resilience in the United States, much of the policy stems from the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 21, which outlines the policy and strategy for public health and medical preparedness. This outbreak is past the point of prevention, and the response must now focus on minimizing the effects as people get sick. A toolset that I have personally used over the years for rapid development and deployment is CommCare by Dimagi, and they have already built a toolkit and guide specifically for COVID-19 outbreak response. 8 My last trip during that outbreak focused upon rebuilding local infrastructure to enable the local health systems to get back to full operation, including the possibility of an Ebola-infected patient presenting and seeking care.	./cache/cord-290264-pv7ijdnx.txt	./txt/cord-290264-pv7ijdnx.txt
