The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history, affecting multiple countries in West Africa. Although the risk of a similar Ebola outbreak in the United States is very low, federal, state, and local partners are preparing and taking precautions to prevent this from happening. Below is a compilation of websites where you can find Ebola guidance documents and resources for the community, first responders, healthcare providers, and laboratories. Anyone with recent travel to West Africa and who may be showing symptoms should contact their physician for further instructions.
