Future pandemics will be assigned to one of five discrete categories of increasing severity (Category 1 to Category 5). The Pandemic Severity Index provides communities a tool for scenario-based contingency planning to guide local pre-pandemic preparedness efforts. Accordingly, communities facing the imminent Epidemics that have occurred throughout history have posed significant challenges to governments. Based on that knowledge, the authors will discuss the major issues that governments will have to address in the event of a future pandemic, whether it is naturally occurring or initiated by a bioterror attack.And then, what about our super-breeding ground, the likely ground-zero of the future pandemic?
