Viewing cable 05TAIPEI4067, AIT PREPARATIONS FOR AVIAN INFLUENZA

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #05TAIPEI4067.

1.  Summary.  This cable reports on AIT's preparations to 
respond to a potential avian influenza (H5N1) pandemic.  The 
basic assumption is that AIT would draw down and drastically 
reduce its services in the event of an outbreak.  Based on 
reftel D, AIT will revisit our current plans, which include 
a tripwire cable for proposed recommendations to the 
Emergency Action Committee (EAC) at various stages of a 
potential avian influenza (H5N1) outbreak (reftel b).  AIT 
has also developed an avian influenza (H5N1) communication 
strategy for AIT and broader American community.  End 
Summary.

2. AIT has completed and submitted a tripwire cable 
regarding proposed recommendations to the Emergency Action 
Committee (EAC) at various stages of a potential avian 
influenza (H5N1) outbreak (reftel b).  Following up on the 
tripwire cable, AIT/T and AIT/K have drafted essential 
personnel rosters.  Our working assumption is that AIT will 
do everything it can to limit the number of people who would 
come into work by limiting services to only the most 
essential including:  American citizen services and 
emergency visa services, management support (to assist those 
working in consular and, if warranted, evacuees), medical 
services for our AIT community, and security (to keep the 
building and community safe).  If we determine in 
conjunction with the Department of State that it is possible 
and prudent, we would also consider recommending that we 
evacuate non-essential staff and family members.  Much along 
the line of the new guidance in reftel D, AIT EAC has 
discussed the probability that evacuation might not be 
feasible or prudent.   In this case, the prophylactic use of 
oseltamivir would be unworkable.  We have begun discussing 
alternate approaches and look forward to more detailed 
direction in the forthcoming "Avian Influenza Guide for 
Department of State Medical Services Personnel." 
3. AIT has also developed an avian influenza communication 
plan.  In accordance with this plan, on September 30, AIT 
held two town hall meetings for the AIT community to answer 
questions about avian influenza (H5N1).  To ensure all 
Americans in Taiwan have access to the information shared at 
the town hall meetings, AIT has posted a list of Department- 
cleared questions and answers on Avian influenza on our 
website.  We have also added links to the World Health 
Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and 
Taiwan's Center for Disease control to the AIT website. 
4. In addition, AIT's Regional Medical Officer has briefed 
the Taipei American Chamber of Commerce and the Taipei 
American School on AIT's preparations.  AIT has also begun 
informal discussions with other representative offices.  We 
are scheduling additional meetings to brief all of these 
groups as we obtain new information. 
5. Finally, AIT has reviewed all Taiwan's preparations plans 
and reported on them in reftel A.  AIT will update 
Washington on AIT and Taiwan preparations as they evolve.

Supplies

6. The Department has provided AIT with 150 courses of 
oseltamivir.  We have currently identified 45 US Direct Hire 
and 84 LES essential employees including including 7 
screeners and 3 Health Care Workers.  We have also estimated 
that, even if a draw down were implemented, 21 eligible 
family members would remain and require medication.  Based 
on the new guidance contained in reftel D, AIT will 
reconvene the EAC to reevaluate our current plans.  In 
addition to oseltamivir AIT has stockpiled the following 
personal protective equipment (PPE): 
  -    3920 N95 masks 
  -    70 gowns 
  -    200 pairs of gloves 
  -    26 pairs of washable goggles 
  -    130 12 oz bottles of hand sanitizer 
  -    1446 Packs of oseltamivir 75 mg (Tamiflu) #10/pack 
  -    4 one gallon bottles of bleach solution 
7. AIT has also ordered an additional: 
  -    660 N95 masks 
  -    1280 gowns 
  -    1150 pairs of gloves 
  -    30 pairs of washable goggles 
  -    450 flu vaccines 
8. AIT is planning on ordering additional supplies to 
support essential staff.  AIT is further prepared to furnish 
a supply of telephones for visiting CDC/WHO etc (likely from 
current TDY supply and/or from potential departing US 
employees).
