Arizona Running Second Influenza Pandemic Drill
2009-02-19
Arizona health care officials are testing their decision making capabilities Thursday in the second simulation of a flu pandemic at an Arizona school.

Officials from the Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona State University, Arizona Department of Education and others from county health departments are on hand at ASU Decision Theater to test their capabilities as the scenario unfolds.

Decision Theater, a computerized simulator with seven wall-length video screens, allows officials to test their actions based on information from multiple sources. Decision Theater officials hoped to expand the scenario this year to provide a more accurate feel.

The scenario allows officials to test various planned methods for dealing with a flu crisis and see what works and what doesnÂ’t.
