Pandemic flu preparedness tools

[Vinay Gupta]

see http://bit.ly/scim2 for a set of tools for pandemic flu planning, provided under an open license.

The basic approach is to provide a simple map of the critical infrastructure for an institution - like local government or a hospital or a school - in a way which lets people from different sectors collaborate effectively to design in resilience in areas like power, water and communications with the cooperation of their service providers.

I think a lot of folks up there might find it quite useful, please pass it around.

Thought you might like to know that Devon CC has produced an elearning course for staff and partners called “What to do if there is  a flu pandemic”. 

 

The course is freely available and can be repurposed by public sector organisations who are Learning Pool members (email me if you’re not sure whether you’re a member).

 

If you’re not a member but would like to take a look email me and I’ll arrange.

 

Thanks
