Emergency planning is an essential tool in the response to a pandemic. Planning is more a process than an outcome. This was contingent upon having plans that would enable the reaction to take place. The second lesson is that there could be a gap, an abyss even, between a pandemic plan and its ability to be activated.

Most striking is the abyss between plans and the ability to implement them with emergency response measures. In the United Kingdom, the status of emergency planning has declined while it has been enhanced in other countries. A gulf has therefore developed between plans and the ability to activate them.

The hero (almost always a man, not a woman, who is invariably his loyal supporter) is a young, fit, active, misunderstood visionary, the only person who can see the truth and is prepared to fight for it. One of the greatest lessons is the imperative need to take emergency planning and preparedness more seriously. What nonsense!

With regard to preparedness, emergency response consists of planned activities, standardised procedures and improvisation. Too much of the last of these is tantamount to negligence, because it shows up the lack of planning and preparedness. Social participation is about the democratisation of emergency response.
