According to the work of the Canadian College of Health Service Executives work entitled "The Role of Health Leaders in Planning for an Influenza Pandemic" published in 2006, pandemic planning "is uniquely complex. From local to international plans, all require a blend of strategic and operational, proactive and reactive, integrated and independent and personal and professional approaches." (p.7) It is necessary that those planning for such a pandemic prepare various reactions to a diverse number of situations and that plans are made in advance of their actual execution. It is necessary that such planning take place across all governmental and health system levels.

(Thompson and Corder, 2007, p. 3) Failure at the federal level results in a healthcare system that is overwhelmed while failure at the local level results in healthcare shifting to families that are not trained and deaths from the pandemic as outcomes.

The work of Schoch-Spana, et al. (2007) entitled "Community Engagement: Leadership Tool for Catastrophic Health Events" reports that civic infrastructure "represents that dynamic assembly…
