  fire rescue response, and police response, and
  police response to 911 calls
• Maintain close relationship with the groups
  working in the city and county

• Quarantine
• - The area/city/town where the outbreak occurs
  will be quarantined.
• - If it is a small area of a city or town, the
  police will be able to quarantine it.
• - If the outbreak is widespread throughout
  Winnebago County, then the whole county will be
  quarantined.
• - If the outbreak is isolated to Winnebago County
  and not the rest of the state, the outside help
  from the military or National Guard will be
  needed to ensure that the quarantine of the
  county is in full affect all of the time
• - Travel into and out of quarantined areas will
  be strictly monitored.
• - Only personal to remove dead bodies for
  disposal and to remove the sick and bring them to
  a hospital/quarantine center will be allowed to
  enter.
• - These individuals must be properly attired in
  protective clothing and decontaminated after they
  leave the area. (masks and gloves are a must)
• - Masks must be worn at all times by the patients
  who have been removed from the quarantined area.
• Individuals may leave the quarantined area if
  they have a work permit and are properly
  attiredare wearing a mask.
• This way necessary businesses may remain open
  during this time.
• - Food will be brought to specific, designated
  areas in the quarantine section for distribution
  among the citizens.
• - In each of the quarantined areas a designated
  building in which sick individuals are brought
  to. There will be a daily collection of the
  sick/dead by properly attired removal personnel.
  Schools in remote locations will make excellent
  locations for emergency hospitals. The doctors
  and nurses who live in that remote area can staff
  those emergency hospitals without leaving the
  quarantine areas.
• Curfew
• - Will be imposed during the nighttime hours
• - Lifted during the daylight hours
• - This will limit the amount of fuel used during
  this time, and will decrease the incidences of
  transmission of disease
• - The work permit pass will give permission to
  those who work during the curfew hours to travel
  to and from their jobs

Mass gatherings - Individuals inside of the
quarantined areas are allowed to gather with
other individuals inside of that same area. -
Individuals outside of the quarantined area are
allowed to gather with other individuals outside
of that same area. - Individuals inside of the
quarantine cannot have mass meetings with
individuals outside of the quarantined areas. -
Small meetings will be permitted if extreme
safety precautions are in place. - All schools
will close - Large malls will close - All
churches will be closed. Services may be
broadcasted over the radio on WVCY 690 AM - No
funeral services will be held. During a pandemic,
there is usually a high mortality rate. Due to
this fact, and the fact that the bodies could
potentially spread the disease more, there will
be specific burial procedures that have to be
followed in all cases. There will be no
exception. The burial procedures are as
follows, - All bodies will be brought to a
specific location inside each of the quarantined
areas for removal. Removal will be done by
appropriately dressed members of the Hazmat Team,
under the supervision of Chief Neil Cameron or
Chief Tim Franz. The two Hazmat trucks will be
designated to carry the bodies to the crematory.
If needed, one or two ambulances will also be
designated to carry bodies only. After the
pandemic is over, the trucks and ambulances will
be disinfected completely. If this is not
possible, the vehicles will be destroyed. -
Bodies will be brought to one of the crematories
in and near Oshkosh. Cremation is mandatory.
This will be the only way to ensure that the
bodies are no longer contagious and that all of
the viruses have been destroyed. All materials
that are not able to be sanitized will be
cremated with the bodies, including masks,
gloves, and protective clothing. - The cemetery
supervisor, William Sturm, will be in charge of
overseeing the disposal/placement of the ashes.
- Memorial services will be postponed until 30
days after the disease has dropped to less than
1 of the population.
