In the newest episode of the Ebola On The Ground video series, "The Response," OB Sisay, Situation Room Director, Sierra Leone's National Ebola Response Centre, takes us on a step-by-step guide to how Sierra Leoneans have worked tirelessly to get the Ebola outbreak under control -- from the emergency call center and the neighborhood surveillance officers to the contact tracers and the armed quarantine zones, and from the new "safe and dignified" burial practices to the recently constructed Ebola graveyards.
