    How to Use the Guide and Template<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    The pandemic influenza planning template has been developed by the San Francisco Department of Public Health to assist businesses think through critical issues related to pandemic influenza and create comprehensive plans to address these needs. <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    The content within the template is a launching point. It will be necessary to adapt the text to create a final document that accurately represents your organization. Start by modifying the content within brackets, filling out the annexes, and attaching the required information. As you move through the template you may find that certain issues important to your organization?s ability to function are not addressed and you may wish to add sections or subsections to the template. Or, you may need to delete sections that are not applicable to your organization.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    As you move throughout the template you will see ?Tips?, things to ?Consider?, and other guidance. These notes are to assist you in developing your plan and can be easily erased by highlighting the text and pressing delete. <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    The annex will also be a critical component of your plan. The annex contains detail on how your organization will operationalize key activities. Examples and worksheets are provided to help develop this information.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    This document and other avian and pandemic influenza information can be found on our website (www.sfdph.org/cdcp) in Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word formats and may be updated periodically. <o:p></o:p>

            Overview and Context

            3.1 Pandemic Overview<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

            <o:p> </o:p>
            Severe influenza pandemics represent one of the greatest potential threats to the public?s health. Pandemics are distinct from seasonal influenza epidemics that happen nearly every year, causing an average of 36,000 deaths annually in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region><st1:place>United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Seasonal influenza epidemics are caused by influenza viruses which circulate globally in humans. Over time, people develop some degree of immunity to these viruses, and vaccines are developed annually to protect people from serious illness. Pandemic influenza refers to a worldwide epidemic due to a new, dramatically different strain of influenza virus, to which there is no immunity. The new virus strain may spread rapidly from person to person and, if severe, may cause high levels of disease and death around the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in the <st1:country-region><st1:place>U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> alone, an influenza pandemic could infect up to 200 million people and cause between 200,000 and 1,900,000 deaths.<o:p></o:p>
            <o:p></o:p>
            The worldwide public health and scientific community is concerned about the potential for a pandemic to arise from the widespread avian influenza A (H5N1) found in birds across several continents. Although many officials believe it is inevitable that future influenza pandemics will occur, it is impossible to predict the exact timing of their arrival. It is difficult to predict the severity of the next pandemic, if it will be associated with the current H5N1 strain or an entirely different strain, and whether the pandemic virus strain will be treatable with exiting medicines. <o:p></o:p>
            <o:p></o:p>
            There are several characteristics of an influenza pandemic that differentiate it from other public health emergencies. Unlike other natural disasters, where any disruption to business service provision is likely to be infrastructure-related, disruption to business operations in the event of a pandemic is anticipated to be human and material oriented. A pandemic has the potential to cause illness in a very large number of people, overwhelm the health care system, and jeopardize services by causing high levels of absenteeism in the workforce. Basic services, such as health care, law enforcement, fire, emergency response, communications, transportation, and utilities could be disrupted during a pandemic. Finally, the pandemic, unlike many other emergency events, could last many months and affect many areas throughout the world simultaneously. <o:p></o:p>
            <o:p></o:p>
            In a pandemic situation, the goal is to slow the spread of disease to prevent illness. The most effective strategy to accomplish this is through vaccination. However, it is likely that effective vaccines will not be available for many months following the emergence of a new pandemic strain of influenza. Existing antiviral medications may also not be effective or available. Other infection control strategies such as social distancing, improved hygiene and respiratory etiquette, isolation, and quarantine may be used to control the spread of disease. <o:p></o:p>
            <o:p></o:p>
            3.2 Role of the San Francisco Department of Public HEalth<o:p></o:p>

            <o:p> </o:p>
            The <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>San Francisco</st1:PlaceName><st1:PlaceType>City</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and County Health Officer has broad powers to address a pandemic influenza emergency. Under California law, a local health officer who believes a contagious, infectious or communicable disease exists within the territory under his or her jurisdiction ?shall take measures as may be necessary to prevent the spread of the disease or occurrence of additional cases? and to protect the public?s health (California Health and Safety Code Section 120175).<o:p></o:p>
            <o:p></o:p>
            The health department will be the lead agency in coordinating city/county wide public health and emergency medical response and will activate its Department Operations Center (DOC) and request the activation of the city-wide Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when a unified response is necessary. <o:p></o:p>
            The epidemiology of the new influenza virus strain and the current situation will influence the health department?s response. Specific guidance and policies, based on up-to-date intelligence, will be provided throughout each alert stage. Table 1 outlines the stages of <st1:City><st1:place>San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City> health department?s pandemic influenza management strategy and potential activities. <o:p></o:p>
