•
•
•
•
Apply to all infectious agents

Initial response will be a local one
After State and Federal agencies
leave – it is still a local incident
Address long term recovery

Planning Pays Off
•
•
No or poor plan can result in losses
In the event of a major disaster
43% never reopen
– 16.5% reopen but close in 2 years
–
•
•
~60% attrition due to a disaster
For every $1 spent on planning,
$7 saved from disaster loss (FEMA)
