Information for family and friends about deployment to the Ebola operation

To ensure that family and friends of delegates obtain as much information as possible in the context of Ebola. The situation – and the perceived risk – may look very different from the point of view of the delegate, who is in the middle of it all and intimately familiar with safety procedures and from the point of view of family and friends far away getting most of their information from news reports of varying accuracy. With this leaflet, the IFRC Staff Health Officer wishes to provide you with basic information about the Ebola Virus Disease, how to support your deploying family member and ways to get support and guidance for you as well.
