Comprehensive Regional Pandemic Resilience Roadmap

PNWER seeks a motivated individual who is passionate about identifying and promoting pandemic era public policy best practices, and helping the region respond effectively to future pandemics. This is a rare opportunity for an innovative and creative individual to assist in designing, writing, and promoting a Regional Pandemic Resilience Roadmap and Playbook that pulls from policies and best practices from across the Pacific Northwest. Through this contract position, you will play a major role in developing a document that can help communities and companies respond more effectively to pandemics and other catastrophic events in the future.
This is a nine-month position. View the full contract position and details here!

More information about the Comprehensive Regional Pandemic Roadmap
PNWER has been awarded an EDA Grant to develop a Comprehensive Regional Pandemic Resilience Roadmap following the COVID-19 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 primary focus of this project is to produce a Roadmap to improve capacities of communities to safely and successfully address the challenges and economically recover from a pandemic. The project will identify gaps, examine what can be improved, and define an implementation plan for best practices and methods identified nationwide with a cross-sector and multi-discipline approach. Shortening the period of maximum economic constraint will do much to limit the economic damages done to individuals, families, and small businesses. This effort will also provide valuable lessons learned that can be used immediately and shared with other metropolitan areas across the United States facing similar challenges. The Roadmap will include a playbook for use by other regions of the nation.
