Welcome to the Pandemic Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Resource Center
The ASHP Research and Education Foundation offers these resources to support pandemic influenza and all hazards emergency preparedness planning efforts in departments of pharmacy and to foster pharmacist involvement in emergency preparedness at the institutional and community levels. These Web resources and the ASHP Foundation’s Pandemic Influenza Assessment Tool for Health-System Pharmacy DepartmentsTM can help directors of pharmacy and their designees ensure that they have taken the necessary steps to plan for pandemic influenza and other emergencies. The Pandemic Influenza Assessment Tool for Health-System Pharmacy DepartmentsTM was developed by an expert panel composed of health-system pharmacists, physicians, pandemic influenza policy experts, a healthcare executive and a representative from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
