Georgia State University Pandemic Flu Emergency Plan

Georgia State University has developed comprehensive plans for protecting the safety and well-being of our students, staff and faculty in the event of a potential pandemic influenza outbreak. As part of this process, a special Pandemic Influenza Task Force has developed the following response plan designed to:

Handle emergency situations
Reduce Georgia State's vulnerability to pandemic influenza
Establish and identify capabilities and responsibilities during such a crisis
Respond effectively and efficiently

The Pandemic Flu Emergency Plan will be adapted based on policy and direction from the Georgia Board of Regents and other state and federal authorities and to meet specific needs identified during an actual event. The following Pandemic Influenza Action Phases will be utilized in all subordinate departmental or collegiate annex plans:
