Preparing Your Business, Pandemic Flu and Other Emergencies: A Scenario
This scenario below is framed around a moderate to severe influenza pandemic. It aims to provide businesses with a starting point to begin to prepare for pandemic influenza. This framework could also apply to other serious communicable disease outbreaks within a community, as it would likely affect the workforce in a similar manner. In addition, much would be equally applicable to a severe snow storm making transportation difficult, a flood, or other emergency.

Pandemic Influenza and Hospital Resources
"Using estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and published models of the expected evolution of pandemic influenza, we modeled the surge capacity of healthcare facility and intensive care unit (ICU) requirements over time in northern Netherlands (≈1.7 million population). We compared the demands of various scenarios with estimates of maximum ICU capacity, factoring in healthcare worker absenteeism as well as reported and realistic estimates derived from semi-structured telephone interviews with key management in ICUs in the study area. We show that even during the peak of the pandemic, most patients requiring ICU admission may be served, even those who have non-influenza-related conditions, provided that strong indications and decision-making rules are maintained for admission as well as for continuation (or discontinuation) of life support. Such a model should be integral to a preparedness plan for a pandemic with a new human-transmissible agent."

Meeting Report: Hospital Preparedness for Pandemic Influenza
"On March 1, 2006, the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center convened a meeting of senior government officials, hospital leaders, clinicians, and public health officials on Hospital Preparedness for Pandemic Influenza in Baltimore, Maryland. A list of meeting participants is provided in Appendix 1. Individual comments were not for attribution so as to foster a frank and open discussion. The purpose of the meeting was to examine ways the U.S. healthcare community, and especially hospitals, can prepare to care for the large number of patients that would be expected during an influenza pandemic. At the meeting, the group was asked to discuss the serious challenges hospitals and communities will confront, to try to reach accord on what high-level solutions should be pursued, and to examine actions and next steps that the group or others might take to bring about such changes"

Pandemic Influenza Emergency Response: Ethics Guidance and Matrix Attachment 12
"After major homeland security and public health preparedness initiatives and directives began to come from the federal government, a number of New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) staff raised concerns about foreseeable issues such as terrorism incidents, disease pandemics, and natural disasters which could place pressure on staff's ability to make effective, ethical decisions. This Attachment was developed to address these concerns. This Attachment provides guidance to NMDOH personnel who directly or indirectly participate in the ethics-based decision making process during health emergencies. The following guidance encourages participating staff to examine ethical issues raised during the deliberation process prior to determining a course of action. This guidance takes two forms. First, there is a common language and frame of reference for decision-making participants. Each major ethical principle is clearly identified and explained. Second, specific questions and application steps provide a path to reaching a decision or recommendation."

Computer Model Examines Strategies to Mitigate Potential U.S. Flu Pandemic
"If pandemic flu were to emerge in the United States, what interventions might slow its spread and minimize the impact? With support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash., and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have used computer models to suggest possible answers. The findings appear in the April 11, 2006, issue of the 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' and will be available in the online edition the week of April 3."
