Re: [padg] pandemic planning

["Karen Muller" <kmuller@xxxxxxx>]

A similar question came in to the ALA Library last fall.

I put the answer, such as it was, on the ALA Professional Tips wiki at:
http://wikis.ala.org/professionaltips/index.php/Flu_Pandemic_Preparedness

I've just opened up a page in the wiki (http://wikis.ala.org/professionaltips/index.php/Pandemic_Planning -- in the Administration and Management area, under Disaster Response) for Pandemic Planning, reworking the original answer and added Walter's cites.  I'd be grateful for any of you to add to that page (or any other, for that matter) as you work on this topic.

(And perhaps PARS can work on a "best practices" document--perhaps collaborating with the LAMA LOMS Risk Management Committee .....)

As part of larger campus-wide planning, I've been appointed to head the 
library's planning for how we will operate if a pandemic occurs.  I 
would appreciate hearing from anyone else whose institutions are 
addressing this situation.
