1. Stress makes you stupid. Don’t design sophisticated systems for college-level minds. Design systems for frightened third graders..
2. The problem is at the input. Examine your assumptions at the front end.
3. No matter who you train – someone else will show up. Keep is simple and assume that everyone may not have undergone your training.
4. Expectation is the reality. If you expect panic, you will get panic. If you expect order, you will get order.

5. The worst case is the easiest. We often assume that they will all be clear cut and easy to recognize. But smaller emergencies are much harder – and much more ambiguous.
"There's this real balance between boredom and horror," said Dr. David Fleming, director and health officer for Public Health in Seattle and King County.

1. Develop a specific “influenza pandemic” checklist for departments with early reminders of necessary actions; i.e.: monitoring absenteeism, location of HR guidance for absences, coordinating communication to departments.
