The Rainbow Family of Living Light (RFLL) is a loosely organized group that developed out of the late 1960s counterculture movement. RFLL has had a 2-week "Gathering for World Peace and the Healing of the Earth" in a different national forest each summer since 1972. For the June 21-July 10, 1999, gathering, RFLL selected the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. The site was not accessible by vehicle and was an hour's walk to the nearest road. No sanitary facilities were available, and water from streams was consumed without treatment. Approximately 20,000 persons attended from the United States and several foreign countries. The state health department requested federal assistance to establish and maintain public health surveillance and to advise on outbreak prevention and control. This report describes the public health aspects of the gathering and presents recommendations for the management of health risks at large outdoor events.
彩虹生活之光家族（RFLL）是一个组织松散的团体，它起源于20世纪60年代末的反主流文化运动。自1972年以来，RFLL每年夏天都会在不同的国家森林中举行为期两周的“世界和平与地球 healing 聚会”。对于1999年6月21日至7月10日的聚会，RFLL选择了宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼国家森林。该地点车辆无法到达，距离最近的道路有一小时的步行路程。没有卫生设施，溪水未经处理就被饮用。大约有2万人从美国和几个外国前来参加。州卫生部门请求联邦援助以建立和维持公共卫生监测，并就疫情预防和控制提供建议。本报告描述了此次聚会的公共卫生方面情况，并提出了在大型户外活动中管理健康风险的建议。
