Pandemic Preparedness Checklist
Supplies and actions recommended by public health authorities for household pandemic readiness.
Pharmacy supply chains are first to disrupt in outbreaks
Airborne pathogen protection — surgical masks insufficient for high-risk exposure
Contact transmission prevention and wound management
Fever monitoring — first sign of most infections
Blood oxygen monitoring — critical indicator in respiratory illness (COVID proved this)
Critical for diarrhoeal illness; dehydration kills faster than the underlying infection
Hospital access may be severely limited during peak outbreak
