“…Sociological evidence from the 2001 FMD crisis has provided analytical and qualitative insights into repercussions of the operational dimensions of the outbreak [38,39], and in particular how strategic approaches to alleviation, wedded to epidemiological models, 'lacked common sense and alienated and marginalized local knowledge' [40]. Local knowledge in this sense means bodies of expertise tied to the experience of disease in particular places and locales.…”

Uncertainty is an inherent feature of strategies to contain animal disease. In this paper, an interdisciplinary framework for representing strategies of containment, and analysing how uncertainties are embedded and propagated through them, is developed and illustrated. Analysis centres on persistent, periodic and emerging disease threats, with a particular focus on cryptosporidiosis, foot and mouth disease and avian influenza. Uncertainty is shown to be produced at strategic, tactical and operational levels of containment, and across the different arenas of disease prevention, anticipation and alleviation. The paper argues for more critically reflexive assessments of uncertainty in containment policy and practice. An interdisciplinary approach has an important contribution to make, but is absent from current real-world containment policy.

“…Government channels did not report a significant increase in the demand of mental health and wellbeing services in affected areas, however the demand was present (Cumbria Foot and Mouth Disease Inquiry Report, 2002;Mort et al, 2004;Bailey et al, 2006). The government acknowledged that this was partially due to lack of proper reporting mechanisms.…”

“…'Lifescapes' are presented as a method for capturing what respondents reported in terms of their everyday lives, to convey the localized, social-spatial public health impacts of the disaster (Bailey et al, 2006). The use of lifescapes and citizens panels were recommended as actions to support preparedness and promote citizen engagement by participants in the first workshop.…”

“…Practical measures to begin this dialogue could be engaging the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, in their capacity at facilitating international trade agreements, and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory reforms, in their capacity at facilitating economic policy and trade could help to advise on business continuity for agriculture, tourism, and other local businesses influenced by trade policy, as this is more of a concern for epidemics compared to other hazard types. Engaging with the Public Health England to facilitate 'bottom-up' public health strategies such as those presented in Bailey et al 2006 can improve epidemic preparedness for both human and animal disease epidemics. Furthermore, public health expertise for managing public health impacts of 'animal' diseases can be strengthened.…”

Disaster Prevention and Management

Purpose – Holistic approaches to public health such as “One Health” emphasize the interconnectedness between people, animals, ecosystems, and epidemic risk, and many advocate for this philosophy to be adopted within disaster risk management (DRM). Historically, animal and human diseases have been managed separately from each other, and apart from other hazards considered for DRM. Shifts in DRM, however, may complement a One Health approach. The taxonomy of hazards considered under DRM has expanded to include medical and social crises such as epizootics and terrorism. However, there is a gap in understanding how epidemic risk is integrated into DRM at the community-level. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – TACTIC adopts a participatory case study approach examining preparedness for multiple hazard types (floods, epidemics, earthquakes, and terrorism) at the community-level. This paper reports on findings from the epidemic case study which took as its focus the 2001 foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in the UK because of the diverse human, social, and environmental impacts of this “animal” disease. Findings – Epizootic preparedness tends to focus on biosecurity and phytosanitary measures, and is geared towards agriculture and farming. Greater engagement with public health and behavioural sciences to manage public health impacts of animal disease epidemics, and activities for citizen engagement to improve preparedness are discussed. The impermeability of boundaries (hazard, institutional, disciplinary, etc.) is a key constraint to integrating One Health into DRM. Originality/value – This work helps to situate the One Health discussion within the community-level DRM context.

“…PAR is one genre of action research, a term that encompasses numerous approaches to research in which researchers work collaboratively with stakeholders through an iterative cycle of fieldwork or practice, reflection, planning, research, and action (Fals Borda, 2001; Kemmis & McTaggart, 2003;Reason & Bradbury, 2001;Stringer & Genat, 2004;Wadsworth, 1998). As an alternative to traditional social science, PAR breathes life into the research process by moving social inquiry from a linear cause and effect framework to a participatory framework that is embedded in the everyday experiential complexities of those for whom the research matters most (Bailey, Convery, Mort, & Baxter, 2006;Chandler & Torbert, 2003). As Dick (2004) points out, action researchers are systems thinkers who believe that "almost everything affects almost everything else" (p. 428).…”
