INFLUENZA PANDEMIC - Federal Agencies Should Continue to Assist States to Address Gaps in Pandemic Planning, GAO-08-539, June 2008. This illustrates the mismatch between federal expectations for state health departments and the reality that state government organization is very flat, with most emergency management responsibilities necessary for pan flu falling outside of the ambit of the health departments. See page 23, discussion of work with private sector partners, and sustaining critical infrastructure, both of which fall outside of health department authority.
