Good planning is essential not only to good communication, but also to effective preparedness. The President directed the formation of a GCC Task Force in the development of a plan for Germanna's Pandemic Flu Response. The College continues to work with government officials and area health agencies in the ongoing development and continual updating of the College's response plan. A copy of Germanna's Pandemic Flu Response Plan will be made available once the Task Force has completed it's commission.
