And further that the Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to sign the Stakeholder Acknowledgment and Approval Form on behalf of the City of Kitchener. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Region of Waterloo Public Health is coordinating the pandemic planning process for Waterloo Region. Since May 2006, over 100 individuals from over 50 organizations served as members of working groups (and sub-groups) that developed the various guidelines, tools and strategies that comprise Waterloo Region's plan -the Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan (CPIPP). The CPIPP is focused on planning for a specific health threat: an influenza pandemic (refer to Attachment #1 for background information on influenza and pandemic influenza). As such, the plan is consistent with guidelines and recommendations presented in the federal and provincial pandemic plans. The CPIPP is an annex to the Region of Waterloo Emergency Response Plan. Each section of the plan is written so it can stand alone. The CPIPP includes: Information on influenza and pandemic influenza Roles and responsibilities of the various levels of government Waterloo Region's pandemic-specific management structure Strategies plans} outlining how Public Health will fulfill its key functions and responsibilities Information on how health care services will be reorganized and provided Response tools for the health care sector Emergency measures to address coordination of services to maintain societal order How hand what) community support services will be coordinated Communications plans and strategies Public Health continues to provide information and support to external organizations/sectors and the general public. Several resource materials (including a Public Guide to the CPIPP) are available on Waterloo Region's pandemic-specific website - www.waterlooregionpandemic.ca or by contacting Public Health directly. Community organizations are also invited to share resource materials with their clients and stakeholders. Pandemic planning is an evolving process. The CPIPP will be updated on an ongoing basis. It is anticipated the next planning stage will commence in September/October 2007. Future updates will be operational in nature. REPORT: According to the Canadian Pandemic Influenza Plan ~CPIP} and Ontario Health Plan for an Influenza Pandemic ~OHPIP}, local public health authorities and governments are responsible for planning and coordinating the local response to an influenza pandemic. In Waterloo Region, Public Health is coordinating the pandemic planning process. Waterloo Region's pandemic influenza plan is titled, "Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan" (CPIPP) ~a copy is distributed with this report}. The CPIPP describes how Region of Waterloo Public Health, in collaboration with community stakeholders, will respond to an influenza pandemic. The CPIPP presents guidelines, tools and strategies that will help guide organizations through the response and recovery phases of a pandemic and who is responsible for the majority of these tasks. Planning Process The CPIPP is being developed in stages. The first stage, which commenced in August 2005 and concluded in April 2006, resulted in the creation of the Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan: Strategic Planning Guide and Operational Framework. Community stakeholders and the Regional Emergency Planning Advisory Committee approved the framework and Public Health updated the Community Services Committee on this document. The strategic planning guide and operational framework established goals, assumptions and principles pertaining to the community response and recovery effort and outlined a process to further develop Waterloo Region's influenza pandemic plan. A Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from the health care and emergency response sector and the Region of Waterloo, guided the development of the CPIPP. The second planning stage commenced in May 2006 and involved the establishment of a new Steering Committee and several working groups (and sub-groups). Over 100 individuals from over 50 organizations served as members of the planning groups prefer to Attachment #2 for a complete list}. From May to December 2006, the working groups created the preparedness and response tools, guidelines and strategies that will be used by local governments and organizations during an influenza pandemic. All of these tools have been reconciled into Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan. Overview of Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan - lmplications for Local Municipalities 2 The CPIPP is focused on planning for a specific health threat: an influenza pandemic. As this threat will constitute an emergency, Public Health is cooperating with emergency management specialists. The CPIPP is an annex to the Region of Waterloo Emergency Response Plan, and is consistent with guidelines and recommendations presented in the federal and provincial pandemic plans. To ensure Waterloo Region's efforts are coordinated and effective, the CPIPP presents a pandemic-specific response (management) structure. During a pandemic, a Regional Pandemic Control Group (RPCG} will be established. The RPCG will have representation from all local municipalities and emergency response organizations and will guide and oversee the broader response and recovery efforts in Waterloo Region. This includes coordination, decision- making, and communications for functions that are common to all municipalities or regional in scale. Local municipalities will maintain responsibility for functions that are specific to their municipality. Several sector-specific coordinating bodies (for the health, community support, critical infrastructure and communications sectors} will also be established to coordinate decision-making and the provision of resources for their respective sectors. A Public Health Support Group comprised of Public Health staff) will be responsible for coordinating Public Health's response activities. Refer to Attachment #3 for Waterloo Region's pandemic response structure. Refer to Attachment #4 for a list of RPCG members. The emergency response sector may need to modify its traditional responses. Given the expected increase in 9-1-1 calls, emergency responders may not respond as they normally would. If the pandemic is severe, response times may be delayed. The CPIPP presents the modified response for this sector and how police, fire and ambulance will coordinate their services. The CPIPP also presents a list of critical infrastructure and functions that infrastructure providers ~e.g., municipalities, hydro) will work to maintain during a pandemic (refer to Attachment #5). Maintaining infrastructure will be vital to ensure the successful operation of the health care and related support systems, and to minimize societal disruption. The CPIPP also contains a draft mutual assistance agreement which outlines the conditions related to the sharing and provision of personnel, services, equipment or material between organizations. To the extent possible, each municipality in Waterloo Region will continue to manage their own critical functions with their staff. Sector coordination will only occur for functions common to all municipalities, and when a municipality is unable to maintain one of its critical functions and issues a formal request for assistance from other municipalities in the region. If a municipality is unable to maintain or operate a critical function, it can request assistance from the Regional Pandemic Control Group. Once the request is received, the RPCG (or a designated authority} will decide on an appropriate response. Collaboration between several organizations ~e.g. police, municipalities, funeral homes, hospitals) will be required to manage the surge in natural deaths. The CPIPP outlines a strategy to ensure the proper screening, recognition, reporting and disposition of human remains. Operational details will be finalized in subsequent planning stages. Overview of the Remainder of Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan The goals of the CPIPP are to reduce morbidity (illness) and mortality death}, and to minimize societal and economic disruption. The plan also contains a series of planning assumptions and guiding principles which provide direction to all organizations developing operational and 3 comprehensive pandemic influenza plans. Given the number of ethical dilemmas that will likely arise during a pandemic, the CPIPP includes an Ethnical Framework for Decision Making as presented in the OHPIP. Public Health will be responsible for four key functions: Surveillance Public Health Measures Antiviral Procurement, Distribution and Use Mass Immunization The CPIPP highlights the Public Health's primary responsibilities for each function and a strategy or plan to meet these responsibilities. Through its efforts, Public Health will work to monitor the progress of the disease and to minimize the burden of illness in the community. Region of Waterloo Public Health will also operate a general information telephone} line that residents of Waterloo Region will be able to phone for a basic health screening, to ask questions and obtain other basic assistance. This phone number will be made available (through the media) at the start of a pandemic. As the health care and its related support systems will have difficulty coping with the surge in demand for service, the current patient flow process for how individuals and families access the health care and its related support system} will be modified. Following from provincial guidelines, Influenza Assessment, Treatment and Referral Centres (Flu Centres} will be established, and all individuals with flu-like symptoms who require care will be required to visit these centres Winstead of their family physician or the hospital's emergency room} for assessment, treatment and/or referral. Convalescent Care Centres will also be established. These centres will support patients who are unable to obtain the care they need at home, but are not sick enough to be in the hospital. There will be approximately six to 10 Flu Centres throughout Waterloo Region, primarily in secondary schools. While initial sites have been selected, their final location will be determined during the lead up to a pandemic event. The location of these centres will be well advertised during a pandemic. All centres will be in highly populated areas, on major transportation routes and will be close to the hospitals. There will be approximately two or three Convalescent Care Centres in the region; however, their location is undetermined at the present time. Initial planning details for Flu and Convalescent Care Centres are presented in the CPIPP. Management and operational details will be finalized in future planning stages. The CPIPP also addresses services at all three local hospitals. The plan presents a general overview as to how acute services will be deferred over the course of a pandemic. The plan also presents a number of operational tools related to the screening and treatment of patients presenting to acute care facilities during a pandemic. The plans and tools will ensure all three hospitals are as consistent as possible in their response efforts. The CPIPP also presents how certain organizations the community support sector (i.e. social service agencies} will coordinate their planning efforts, including volunteer recruitment. This sector will work to provide support to individuals and families who would be able to recover from the flu while staying at home, but do not have the necessary networks to support them during their illness. Services will only be provided to individuals who are severely ill and if resources permit. 4 To ensure the successful operation of the health care system several other resources are included in the CPIPP: Infection prevention and control guidelines for health care and emergency response settings Recommendations for health care and emergency response organizations pertaining to the stockpiling, distribution and maintenance of equipment and supplies Guidelines related to health human resources and psychosocial supports for healthcare workers The success of all response and recovery tools, guidelines, recommendations and strategies will depend on effective communications between organizations and in communicating key messages to the general public. The CPIPP highlights key audiences/stakeholders and how the dissemination of information will be coordinated. The plan also identifies key messages and communications vehicles that may be used during a pandemic. Each chapter in the plan also presents a series of Next Steps. This information will be used to guide individuals and working in future planning stages as Public Health and its stakeholders continue to evolve Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan. Approvals Process for Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan In keeping with Public Health's community engagement approach to pandemic planning, all organizations that have specific roles in implementing the response tools and guidelines during a pandemic are being asked to endorse Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan. As part of this endorsement, the administrative head of each organization is asked to sign a Stakeholder Acknowledgment and Approval Form (refer to Attachment #6). The approvals process is being carried out in stages. Organizations in the health, community support and emergency response sectors were asked to indicate their willingness to endorse the plan via email) by April 13, 2007. All 19 organizations asked to sign the acknowledgement and approval form provided this confirmation and approved the plan. The official form for signatures} is currently being circulated. The Regional Emergency Planning Advisory Committee endorsed the CPIPP on April 5, 2007. Approval by local municipalities will occur throughout April and May. The regional municipality and the seven local municipalities will consider/approve the plan over the next few weeks. Issues Requiring Further Clarification Throughout the planning process, Public Health collected a list of issues or policy questions that require clarification from the provincial government. These include, but are not limited to: Funding (for staffing, equipment and supplies, Flu Centres} Operational/Management details related to Flu Centres (e.g. liability, insurance, medical directives, human resources, employee compensation) The role of primary care providers during a pandemic Recommendations related to the use of personal protective equipment Sharing of personal information during an emergency A draft letter from the Chair of the CPIPP Steering Committee to the Chief Medical Officer of Health highlighting these issues is presented in Attachment #7. 5 Communication, Public Education and Other Initiatives Much of the success of the response and recovery efforts will depend on communicating key messages to the general public. While most information will need to be disseminated leading up to and during a pandemic, Public Health is continually working to improve its current communication and public education efforts. As the CPIPP is over 300 pages and contains detailed information, Public Health developed a Public Guide to Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan and an information brochure titled, "Influenza Pandemic -What You Need to Know" copies are distributed with this report}. The public guide and information brochure highlight key points the general public should know about the plan and preparedness in general. A clear language specialist edited the information brochure so it is written at a reading level that is accessible to the general public. As Public Health is unable to plan for other organizations, the department continues to provide information and support to external organizations and sectors. As part of this support, Public Health produces a newsletter highlighting its pandemic planning initiatives and available planning resources ~e.g. business continuity tools, fact sheets, provincial updates and resources}. The newsletter is published four times a year and is distributed to a variety of stakeholders. All information and documents are available on Waterloo Region's pandemic- specific website - w.waterlooregionpandemic.ca -which is maintained and updated by Public Health. Individuals without Internet access are invited to contact Public Health or visit the Public Health Resource Centre for copies of the material. Next Steps The CPIPP hand its related documents and tools} will be reviewed and revised on an ongoing basis to incorporate provincial updates and directives, and to integrate current knowledge and best practices. Future edits will be operational in nature. A Steering Committee will continue to be responsible for directing pandemic planning efforts in Waterloo Region, and it is recommended the Regional Emergency Planning Advisory Committee review and endorse all future updates to the plan. Updates on pandemic planning and the CPIPP will be forwarded to the Community Services Committee on an annual basis. Region of Waterloo Public Health will continue to support the further development of the CPIPP. Some of the areas of focus over the next year include: Work to finalize plans for Influenza Assessment, Treatment and Referral Centres and Convalescent Care Centres, Continue to develop surveillance capacity and mass immunization and anti-viral plans, Continue work on community support efforts, and work with the health care and municipal sector stakeholders to ensure deferral of services or business continuity plans are completed. City of Kitchener staff has already started to detail the city's local pandemic influenza preparedness plan using the CPIPP as a parent document. City staff will continue to work cooperatively with staffs of the municipalities within the Region to continually grow the level of preparedness. 6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Current costs are being absorbed in the approved budget.

Most healthy individuals are able to recover from the illness, but certain segments of the population -such as the elderly, young children, and people with certain health conditions -may experience further complications. In some instances, the disease can be fatal. As a result, influenza is an ongoing public health threat. The seasonal influenza viruses are always changing slightly as they exchange parts of their genetic makeup with other influenza strains. An influenza pandemic for "pandemic"} occurs when a strain of the flu virus changes in composition, becomes highly contagious, spreads easily from person to person and moves quickly around the world. Since the population will not be immune to the new virus, it will affect more people and cause higher rates of morbidity (illness) and mortality (death}. Public health experts agree that communities should be prepared for the next pandemic event. An influenza pandemic would strain health care, community support, municipal and emergency response resources, and may also result in significant economic and social disruption across Waterloo Region. A pandemic would challenge our existing systems and institutions because of increased demand for service coupled with a reduced workforce has a result of illness and family obligations}. As a result, Region of Waterloo Public Health and its community stakeholders recognize the benefit of developing mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery measures that can be activated before, during, and after an influenza pandemic.

This letter is to inform you of recent activities in Waterloo Region and to forward a list of issues and policy questions that require clarification from provincial authorities. I understand Ministry staff seeks ongoing feedback on provincial efforts and I hope you find this information useful. Over the past two years, Region of Waterloo Public Health collaborated with more than 100 stakeholders from over 50 organizations to develop a pandemic influenza plan for Waterloo Region. This plan, the Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan CPIPP), outlines how organizations and individuals involved in Waterloo Region's emergency response efforts will respond during a pandemic event. The CPIPP extends beyond the health care sector and includes guidelines and strategies for the emergency response, community support and municipal sectors. A copy is enclosed for your perusal. Throughout the planning process, our stakeholders/planning groups discussed several issues and policy questions beyond Public Health's jurisdiction. The following are the key issues Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Steering Committee would like the province to address in future iterations of the Ontario Health Plan for an Influenza Pandemic ~OHPIP} or as soon as possible: Influenza Assessment, Treatment and Referral Centres (Flu Centres) The 2006 iteration of the OHPIP recommends that communities establish Influenza Assessment, Treatment and Referral Centres. While Waterloo Region's CPIPP Steering Committee is supportive of this recommendation and has developed initial plans for these centres, there are several issues that are beyond the scope of our planning groups and mandated public health services in general. Communities will find it difficult to finalize planning details until provisions are made for the following: Funding (for equipment, supplies, staffing, facility operations, etc.); Compensation for Flu Centre staff (particularly if patients do not require health cards to obtain care); Insurance requirements and liability concerns; Medical directives and scope of practice issues (re: Flu Centre staff}; Availability, provision of, and patient payment for pharmaceuticals/antibiotics; and Antiviral distribution. Personal Protective Equipment There is great debate about the appropriate type and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the provision of PPE is consistently raised in our planning forums. Clear guidelines, 21 supported by both the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) and the Ministry of Labour, are required to address this important issue. The recommendations should consider best practices for infection control and occupational health & safety, and address the needs for a variety of settings ~e.g. Flu Centers, hospitals, home visits [by health care and community support workers], emergency responders and settings where staff or volunteers have close contact with the public [e.g. shelters, public transit]). Stockpiling of Equipment and Supplies The Ontario Health Plan for an Influenza Pandemic recommends health care organizations stockpile critical equipment and supplies. While the Steering Committee is supportive of the strategy, it should be accompanied by funding to assist with the acquisition, storage and distribution of the supplies as the financial and warehousing capacity of the sector is limited. Stockpiling is also difficult in the absence of clear recommendations regarding personal protective equipment. The community support organizations involved in our planning efforts also raised concerns about the stockpiling of equipment and supplies. While they continue to develop strategies to eliminate potential employee and volunteer exposure to pandemic influenza, there may be instances where an employee/volunteer needs to come into close contact with an infected individual. These organizations, which will be essential to maintain societal order and assist the health care sector, do not have the capacity or financial means to stockpile the necessary supplies. Engagement of Primary Health Care Providers, Physicians and Other Individuals The role of primary health care providers during an influenza pandemic is unclear. While our planning groups included representatives from family physicians, urgent care clinics and family health teams, there is no effective mechanism to engage all primary health care providers. It would be helpful if the MOHLTC provided reports or updates on their discussions with the Ontario Medical Association, The College of Family Physicians or any other organization closely linked with primary care providers. Providing adequate health care during an influenza pandemic will require extensive coordination and all available resources. Currently, it is challenging for local planners to engage this important stakeholder. Guidelines outlining or providing suggestions about their potential role during a pandemic may also be useful. Updates on discussions with veterinarians, chiropractic, physiotherapist and pharmacist regulatory bodies (regarding the use of alternate care workers) would also be helpful. Acute Care The CPIPP Steering Committee and its Acute Health Services Working Group are supportive of the critical care triage protocol presented in Chapter 17 of the OHPIP. However, our hospital representatives indicate they would not be able to follow this protocol given the current legislation and liability concerns. Will this protocol be legislated? Our acute sector highlighted the importance of determining compensation guidelines for physicians who are redeployed to assist with pandemic response efforts. Determining compensation mechanisms in advance of an event will be essential to ensure their participation. The acute planning group also raised concerns about access to acute care by patients triaged from community settings, but do not have a valid health card. Should hospitals provide care? How will they be compensated? How would physicians bill for the service? 22 In addition, will the MOHLTC fund "closed" hospital beds during a pandemic to increase surge capacity? Personal Information and Privacy Legislation A community's pandemic response and recovery efforts will require unprecedented cooperation between organizations. To ensure these efforts are effective and coordinated, each organization may be required to share an individual's personal information. Sharing this information, however, may not be permitted within current personal information and privacy legislation. Will special provisions be made during a pandemic? What sort of provisions may be implemented? Telehealth The role of Telehealth during a pandemic is unclear. As many public health units plan to operate a general information/telephone line, it will be essential efforts are not duplicated. Information provided to the public must also be consistent. It would be helpful to local planners if the role of Telehealth is clarified. Community Support Services While planning for community support services during a pandemic, stakeholders identified several issues requiring clarification or action: While effective, the capacity (resources, financial} of community support organizations is often limited. The ability of these organizations to assist in pandemic response efforts is dependent on financial compensation for the services. Provisions need to be made for these supports. Will the food supply chain be stable during a pandemic? Everyone from farmers to grocery retailers could be affected, and it will be difficult to support individuals and families if food is not available. Food provision will be essential to maintain societal order. Guidance (re: liability, PPE} pertaining to the use of volunteers in the response effort. Currently, it is difficult for children's protective service organizations to find appropriate housing for children in need. If demand for this service increases during a pandemic will regulations (as per the existing legislation) be relaxed or modified? Will guidelines be developed to assist these organizations? How will provincial ministries assist local community support sector organizations during a pandemic? Communication Effective communication during any emergency is vital. During a pandemic it will be essential for the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre to issue the same clear and consistent directives to the health care, emergency response, municipal and community support sectors. Doing so will also work to ensure local efforts across the province are consistent and effective. Dr. Pasut, Waterloo Region's Community Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan Steering Committee and its planning groups recognize it will be difficult to provide answers to each issue raised, and understand it may take some time before solutions or consensus is reached. I appreciate the opportunity to highlight some the current challenges faced by our planning groups and health unit. 23 On behalf of the Steering Committee I would also like to thank the Ministry of Health and Long- Term Care (and the Emergency Management Unit in particular) for their ongoing work and support of local planning efforts. Ontario is a national leader in developing guidelines and strategies for an influenza pandemic and your Ministry's commitment to protecting the health and safety of all Ontarians is clearly evident. I invite you or MOHLTC staff to contact me at nlianaregion.waterloo.on.ca or 519-883-2000 you have any questions or wish to further discuss these issues.
