Pandemic Planning Peculiarities
Will we have people to occupy our state andcounty Emergency Operations Centers?
Will outside agencies or other states be willing to come into the affected area to assist?
Work closely with your state and regional healthfacilities to determine issues and procedures. Will isolation facilities be required?
What “social distances” will need to be observed. What affect will the pandemic conditions have on schools,
workplaces, and businesses.
From where will required ventilators and medicines come?
