Operational Plan

In April 2007, Alabama's first Comprehensive Pandemic Influenza (PI) Operational Plan was submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services. The final version of the plan is a result of work from many state offices under the direction of Dr. Donald E. Williamson, Alabama's State Health Officer.

The information below is from the final version of the PI Operational Plan. Learn more about a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) on the Continuity of Operations Directive page.
