The UA Pandemic Response Planning Subgroup, part of the Critical Incident Response Team, has worked closely with local, regional and national agencies to identify measures that should be taken during a pandemic influenza outbreak. The plan that has resulted from those efforts details steps that should be taken before, during and after a pandemic and involves all aspects of University operations, from facilities and risk management to communications and business affairs. During COVID-19 from 2020-2023, the Pandemic Planning Subgroup was paused and members served as senior advisors to the UA COVID ICS Team and Co-Directors of Vaccine Task Force.
