Practice and Providers Resources
The City of Portland Pandemic Influenza Plan is currently in draft form. The plan was developed utilizing models from other states and information collected from a tabletop exercise conducted with city program/department heads in October 2006. The plan is comprised of eight core components: Direction and Control, Continuity of Essential Services, Risk Communication and Outreach, Disease Management and Surge Capacity, Mass Fatality, School Preparedness, Volunteer Workforce, and Community Containment.
A review of the draft plan will be conducted with internal and external stakeholders over the next 9 months to find solutions to identified gaps and revise the document to make it more of a functional document.
The City of Portland Pandemic Influenza Plan will serve as a template for the development of the Cumberland County/multi-jurisdictional plan, which will include the same core components.
