Pandemic planning considerations for local governments

An influenza pandemic will spread quickly.

Vaccines may be non-existant or have a limited efficacy.

The healthcare system may be overwhelmed.

Alternate facilities may be needed to:

  • conduct triage of ill people

  • provide supportive care
     environments for patients

  • temporarily store bodies

Health care workers and EMS responders may face staff shortages exceeding 30%.

Significant disruptions of critical infrastructure may occur. This includes disruptions to first response systems and social services.

Mutual aid from outside south Idaho may be limited or unavailable.
