5. Quarantine measures/Prevention/Travel/Crime Prevention
If an outbreak of avian flu occurred in Oshkosh, do we quarantine Oshkosh and neighboring towns in Winnebago County? How will a quarantine be enforced? Who would best to be able to effect a quarantine? (e.g. military, police) Who do we allow to travel into and out of the city? Winnebago County? Should there be a curfew imposed to help keep order during this emergency? If many individuals stop going to work, businesses will be vulnerable to security issues, including looting. How will order be maintained during this emergency?
