Description:This guide aims to help state health officials prepare for a rapid response to an opioid overdose spike event. Key components of an effective response include forming an overdose spike response team (OSRT) and overdose spike action plan (OSAP). This guide consists of potential action steps and factors for success, for each phase of the planning and response process. These tips are followed by sample job action sheets and other resources meant to support each phase of the process.
