Government Continuity Planning for Influenza Pandemic All government organizations should be responsible for
developing pandemic plans that: provide for the health and safety of their employees; ensure that the organization will be able to maintain its essential
functions and services in the face of significant and sustained absenteeism;
provide clear direction on the manner in which the organization will execute its responsibilities in support of the Nation’s response to a pandemic as described in the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan; and
communicate pandemic preparedness and response guidance to all stakeholders of the organization.

Pandemic Influenza Defined A pandemic is a global disease outbreak A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges
for which people have little or no immunity, and for which there is no vaccine
The disease spreads easily person-to-person, causes serious illness, and can sweep across the nation and around the world in a very short period of time

Summary of Federal Government Planning Assumptions – May 061. Susceptibility to pandemic influenza virus (PI) will be
universal
2. Efficient and sustained person-to-person transmission signals an imminent pandemic
3. The clinical disease attack rate will be 30 percent in the overall population during the pandemic
4. Some asymptomatic infected persons will be able to transmit the virus
5. Around half or more of all ill persons may seek medical care
6. Risk groups cannot be accurately predicted
![Page 36: Determined Accord Pandemic Preparedness Workshop for Continuity Managers Developed by: National Continuity Programs Directorate (NCP) Federal Emergency.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de45503460f94adbe50/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Summary of Federal Government Planning Assumptions – May 067. Absenteeism will fluctuate between 30-40% during the peaks
of the pandemic waves
8. Incubation period of PI is estimated to be approximately two days
9. Risk of transmission will be greatest during the first two days of illness
10.On average, each infected person will transmit the virus to two other people
11. Epidemics will last six to eight weeks in affected communities
12.Multiple waves are expected, lasting two to three months each
![Page 37: Determined Accord Pandemic Preparedness Workshop for Continuity Managers Developed by: National Continuity Programs Directorate (NCP) Federal Emergency.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649de45503460f94adbe50/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
