Pandemic Influenza Planning
A Step-by-Step Guide for Businesses and Local Governments
Copyright 2006, Fire Risk Management, LLC
A checklist is not a plan. Copying information about bird flu from the
internet is not a plan. "Buy N95 surgical masks" is not a plan.
A plan is a guide. It provides specific information about your organization
and describes actions to be taken when an influenza pandemic begins to
spread around the globe.
"Pandemic Influenza Planning" leads planners through a step-by-step
process that begins with gathering information about your organization.
That information is used to create lists, narratives, and other forms of
documentation that describe resources and outline actions that need to
be taken.
The following outline lists the major planning sections of the book. Click

Planning must be a methodical process, and this book leads the
planners through it, step-by-step, point-by-point, in a logical progression
of information gathering and processing that leads to the development of
plan specifically for your organization.
Each planning section begins with pertinent background information
followed by a list of simple planning objectives. The objectives tell you
what information you need to compile and what to do with it after you've
gathered it. Following the process leads those responsible for the
planning effort through the plan development process from beginning to
end.
