Overview:

On March 11, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake occurred off the east coast of Japan. Damage to the Fukushima nuclear power plant following the earthquake and tsunami has resulted in an ongoing leak of radiation from this facility.CDC has a key role in protecting the public's health in an emergency involving the release of radiation that could harm people's health. Travelers to tsunami-affected areas may return with a variety of physical concerns.During this COCA conference call, a CDC subject matter expert will discuss CDC’s interim guidance for clinicians evaluating travelers returning from Tsunami-Affected areas, and provide information for clinicians involved in planning for and responding to this type of emergency.
