CONTINGENCY PLANNING AND TRIPWIRES 
 
REF: 2005 STATE 219189 
 
1.   This cable is in response to reftel. 
 
2.   SUMMARY:  Post's Avian Influenza Working Group (AIWG) 
met on January 23 and began developing preparedness measures 
to meet the threat of a possible AI human pandemic.  The AIWG 
members have inventoried medical supplies, identified 
medically trained staff, and identified staff at medical risk 
in a pandemic scenario.  AIWG members also began making plans 
for mission briefings, social distancing measures, 
communication with wardens, and continued operations under 
reduced staff in a drawdown situation.  AIWG members 
formulated AI-specific trip wires coupled with Embassy 
response measures. END SUMMARY. 
 
3.   Post convened on January 23 its first AIWG to develop 
preparedness measures against the threat of a possible AI 
human pandemic.  The AIWG discussed AI-specific preparations, 
contingencies, and tripwires. 
 
KEY ASSUMPTIONS 
----------------- 
1)   The risk to USG personnel in Haiti is currently low.  It 
is unlikely that Haiti would be at the center of any outbreak 
of human-to-human H5N1 infection, thus providing some 
advanced warning.  However, if AI would arrive in Haiti, it 
could spread unchecked throughout the country, as the 
nation's health and security infrastructure are inadequate to 
enforce a quarantine. 
 
2)   An animal or human infection in the Dominican Republic 
should be treated as an infection in Haiti and vice versa. 
The likelihood of rapid spread between the countries is very 
high.  Neither Haiti nor the Dominican Republic has 
sufficient resources to control the border. 
 
3)   By the time an H-2-H outbreak occurs in Haiti, it likely 
will have already occurred in the United States, limiting the 
potential benefit of evacuation.  However, as Haiti has no 
medical facilities that would be able to handle AI cases at 
an international standard of care, evacuation would be the 
best option, if still feasible. 
 
4)   Depending on the speed of a human-to-human outbreak, 
U.S. citizens could be quickly cut off from air evacuation 
routes.  Evacuation by sea might also become impossible. 
 
5)   An outbreak in Port-au-Prince could engender even 
further instability in this volatile city. 
 
5)   The Mission would be unable to obtain essential medical 
and basic supplies locally in the event of a crisis and 
should stockpile adequate provisions. 
 
6)   Post should prepare for a long-term shelter-in-place 
contingency.  Post believes it could sustain a 
shelter-in-place for a maximum of four (4) weeks. 
 
AI-SPECIFIC PREPARATIONS 
------------------------------ 
 
4.  Concerning AI-specific preparations, AIWG members have 
inventoried and ordered/received pandemic preparedness 
medical supplies, including medications and protective gear. 
Embassy staff at potential medical risk during a pandemic has 
been identified and a mission drawdown list is being updated. 
 Mission staff with medical skills that could assist Post's 
medical unit in a pandemic has been identified.  Mission 
management is inventorying and stockpiling fuel, food, water, 
and other emergency supplies and planning mission drawdown 
procedures coupled with shelter-in-place and social 
distancing measures. 
 
5.  AIWG member discussions resulted in the following list of 
AI-specific tripwires and post responses: 
 
TRIPWIRE ONE: 
Pathogenic virus strain H5N1 infects an animal in Haiti, the 
Dominican Republic or Caricom country, but without 
human-to-human (H-2-H) transmission; or there is sustained 
pathogenic-H5N1 H-2-H transmission anywhere in the world.

TRIPWIRE TWO: 
Pathogenic H5N1 infects a human in Haiti or the Dominican

sustained H-2-H transmission in a Caricom country; or there 
is quickly spreading H-2-H transmission anywhere in the world.

members, and begin implementation planning. 
g. -- Continue convening AIWG to refine contingency plans and 
to monitor AI-related activities in host countries. 
 
TRIPWIRE THREE: 
There is sustained H-2-H pathogenic H5N1 transmission in the 
Dominican Republic or Haiti, but not in Port-au-Prince; or 
there is quickly spreading H-2-H transmission in Caricom 
countries. 
 
RESPONSES: 
a. -- Convene EAC to confirm that tripwire has been crossed.

American citizens.  Post issues guidance for American 
community on treatment options. 
l. -- Reduce consular operations to emergency consular
