What contingency plans do Countries have for an influenza pandemic?
Plans will provide the overall framework for an integrated Country-wide response, escalating as the pandemic threat increases and then as the pandemic evolves. At its simplest it covers actions to be taken before, during and after the pandemic. Plans concentrate on the central response, but contains information for al organisations involved in preparing for and responding to an influenza pandemic in order to provide a coherent approach with each part knowing its role in relation to others. The plan is also intended to be flexible so that our response can be adapted as a pandemic evolves and knowledge about the new virus, its impact and the effectiveness of available countermeasures emerges.
