Both the laboratory and physician need to be aware of, and perform notification to the LHD (‘notification delay’), or to have a (software) system installed for au- tomatic notification. After notification, the LHD will perform a risk assessment and initiate response actions. The LHD is required to report each notification to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) through an internet based reporting system called ‘Osiris’ (‘reporting delay’). The Centre for Infectious Disease Control (CID) of the RIVM monitors for clusters that in- volve multiple LHD regions or occur at national level, in order to coordinate out- break investigation and response activities. For this purpose, the CID developed a Response plan, which serves as contingency plan for outbreak coordination and response. The investigation of a large outbreak of Salmonella Thompson in 2012 was conducted according to this plan (28). Preparedness for response re- quiring coordination between stakeholders has further developed, for example with the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) for foodborne outbreaks (29). The CID/RIVM reports events to the WHO and the
Foodborne Diseases Centers for the Outbreak Response Enhancement (CDC/US)
