Pandemic Planning 101

It seems many government agencies and associations have created checklists for pandemic preparedness.

"...You should do this... you will need these... you have to do that..."

Then what?

Do they give you an operational plan, communication memos, infection prevention and control policies, Human Resources policies, a methodology to determine Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements for your staff?

Do they give you an exercise to test your plan?

Do they provide infectious disease training programs?

Do they offer a family program?

If not, you will now have to start from scratch and create all these documents and processes yourself.

They tell you WHAT to do BUT not HOW to do it.

WE CAN HELP!
