  3. Background • In WV, outbreaks are reportable immediately to local health departments(LHDs) • LHDs are required to report outbreaks to Bureau for Public Health (BPH) within 60 minutes • LHDs report and investigate outbreaks with assistance from regional epidemiologists & BPH • There was a 13-fold increase in reported outbreaks from 2001 to 2010
