Pandemic Flu Case Analysis Assignment:

Peruse the Pennsylvania Pandemic Flu Plan. No disaster plan is without flaws or weaknesses. Based on your knowledge of disaster mitigation and response, as well as your knowledge of public health, design a tool which could be used by the PA DOH as an instructional guide to their county offices on how they plan to handle an influenza pandemic. As part of this guide, present at least 5 weaknesses or potential weaknesses that you find here. Additionally, comment on how and why personnel in county public health offices may be overwhelmed during a pandemic and what tasks they would have to address to assist in response to and mitigation of the disaster.

If you asking for clarity and some direction for this project.

First, review the plan. When I describe a tool- what I mean is an aid- such as a brochure, talking paper or other form of guide that can assist the local governments (counties) in implementing and a brief plan on how to deal with a local pandemic.

As you design the tool, find 5 areas of weakness that may hinder or obstruct their ability to implement a plan- and provide a brief solution to that situation.

Remember you are trying to assist local government- help them with courses of action to minimize the weaknesses.
