Emergency Continuum

• Degree of impact on– Organization– Staff– Community– Government– Infrastructure

Inconvenience Problem Emergency Crisis Disaster Cataclysm

20

Business Continuity

• Controlled degradation– Like a body going into shock

• What functions are really critical?– You may be surprised– Criticality is tied to how long the function is not

available

• Reallocate resources, build-in redundancy

21

Mitigate & Prepare

• Reality check:– People will forget to prepare– Readiness processes will fade away– Plans won’t be tested and will get obsolete

• Best hope:– Leverage existing processes– Get your information close to the source– Use “emergency” processes routinely– Create a 1-page Emergency Plan

22

Pandemic Planning Extras

• Planning assumptions– 15% to 35% of workforce is affected– First 8 weeks are bad, then it really hits you– Ubiquitous: you’re on your own

• Well defined phases to pace response• Ethical & business considerations

– e.g. pay for antivirals? for whole family?

• Pandemic fatigue

Typical ICS/IMS Organization

• MaHIM
