The training materials on this page are intended for use by waterborne disease outbreak coordinators at state and local health departments who complete waterborne disease and outbreak reports for submission to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The training materials on this page provide instruction on how to enter data for waterborne disease outbreak reports. For guidance regarding the reporting process within a particular reporting site, users should contact their designated reporting site or agency administrators. Questions or feedback for CDC regarding NORS may be directed to NORSadmin@cdc.gov.

State and local health departments have been reporting foodborne, enteric person-to-person and animal contact-associated outbreaks in NORS since February, 2009. Training materials are available for individuals who need to enter foodborne, enteric person-to-person and animal contact-associated disease outbreak reports into NORS.
