Pandemic response
Pandemics are characterized by the rapid spread of infectious diseases over a large geographical area. To be prepared, a pandemic response can be established by a governing body or municipality to prevent or slow the spread of a pandemic-driving disease. In addition to mitigating disease, pandemic responses also consider how to sustain infrastructure and the economic fitness of the area.
