This plan template is provided as part of the Zika Community Action Response Toolkit (Z-CART) for state, local, and tribal, public health staff to adapt to their needs in the context of local mosquito-borne transmission of Zika virus infections. It contains updated Zika-specific content and is intended as a resource for supporting Zika response plans.

This document outlines an approach to risk communication and community engagement planning and is intended as a template for state, local, and tribal agencies to adapt to their needs and to use for reviewing plans for communicating about Zika during the event of locally transmitted Zika virus.

A risk communication and community engagement plan should be developed to help state, local, and tribal public health leaders to tie larger public health goals and objectives to specific risk-based communication strategies and tactics that will be used during an emergency response to confirmed cases of local mosquito-borne transmission of Zika virus.
