The Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER) Foundation has contracted with BERK Consulting to develop a Comprehensive Pandemic Resilience Roadmap for the Puget Sound region. This project is funded by a U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant.
As part of this project, we are analyzing the economic impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the region and identifying best practices in mitigation, resilience, and recovery to form a guide for future pandemics and inform policymakers about what worked and didn't work in this pandemic.

This will be an opportunity to build upon PNWER's previous work in 2010 on a Comprehensive Community Bio-Event Resilience Action Plan following the H1N1 pandemic. The Roadmap will incorporate lessons learned from COVID-19 pandemic and pandemic resilience best practices with a strong focus on economic challenges in the context of health safety, the implications for preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, and identify needs and respective improvement actions.
