Cholera is a major public health problem in Ethiopia. This study aimed to generate evidence to better understand the epidemiology of cholera as well as chronicle the city administration\u2019s emergency management efforts during the Addis Ababa cholera outbreak in 2016. <jats:italic>Method<\/jats:italic>. A descriptive analysis was performed using the cholera outbreak data collected from June 8 to October 31, 2016. A case was defined as a patient aged 5 years or older who develops acute watery diarrhea with or without vomiting. Administrative and laboratory finding reports were also used, as well as documented situational updates. <jats:italic>Result<\/jats:italic>. A total of 8,083 cases (AR of 0.24 percent) with 15 deaths (CFR of 0.18 percent) were reported. Males in unskilled manual occupations and housewives accounted for 2,198 (27.2%) and 1,195 (14.8%), respectively, of the total. A total of 6,908 cases (85.46 percent) sought medical attention within two days of the onset of the condition. The presence of the <jats:italic>Kolfie river<\/jats:italic> as well as the relatively confined living conditions of the residents aided in the emergence and rapid spread of the disease. The increased in\u2010and\u2010out movement of people, combined with the city administration\u2019s deficient development infrastructure of water, hygiene, and sanitation, contributes to higher morbidity and a longer duration of the outbreak. Multiple command posts established in various locations as well as a lack of collaboration among relevant stakeholders resulted in inefficient information and resource management. Furthermore, there is a lack of risk factor surveillance for the early detection of cholera\u2010causing agents. <jats:italic>Conclusion and Recommendations<\/jats:italic>. This outbreak caused significant morbidity and mortality. Prioritizing early risk detection, implementing preventive measures, and developing positive working relationships with relevant parties are all critical. A well\u2010established community\u2010based surveillance system and incident management system (IMS) will be required for future emergency management. It is recommended that the city administration make critical adjustments to its developmental infrastructures related to water, sanitation, and hygiene and implement risk factor surveillance from sewerage lines for the early detection of agents that cause cholera.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/4671719","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,14]],"date-time":"2022-07-14T04:50:16Z","timestamp":1657774216000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Epidemiology of Cholera Outbreak and Summary of the Preparedness and Response Activities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2016"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4480-7896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abduilhafiz A.","family":"Endris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adamu","family":"Addissie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulnasir","family":"Abagero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Biniam","family":"Techane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Musse","family":"Tadesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","unstructured":"WHO World health Organization 2019 https:\/\/www.emro.who.int\/health-topics\/cholera-outbreak\/index.html."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","unstructured":"Nigeria centre for disease control 2019 https:\/\/ncdc.gov.ng\/diseases\/factsheet\/50."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","unstructured":"WHO Interim guidance document on cholera surveillance global task force on cholera control (gtfcc) surveillance working group 2017 https:\/\/www.who.int\/cholera\/task_force\/GTFCC-Guidance-cholera-surveillance.pdf."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2012.11.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","unstructured":"EthiopianE.
