Pandemic Sampling Designs and Techniques
Determining How Many Samples and Location of Samples Needed Within Critical Buildings and Rooms For Pandemic Scenarios
This course will cover VSP procedures and tools needed to develop and visualize defensible sampling plans for buildings and surfaces for pandemic scenarios. The curriculum includes a VSP overview, an outline of possible sampling objectives and approaches for various real world pandemic scenarios, procedures for quickly creating accurate, to-scale representations of buildings and rooms, and several hands-on realistic case studies.
