- An expanded discussion of the decision-making process.
- Refinement of the containment strategy emphasizing the localized geographical approach and describing the key activities for Containment and Buffer Zones.
- A prposed approach for estimating the duration of a containment operation.

The protocol will be updated and revised as new information becomes available and more detailed guidance and tools are developed.
