\nA novel pandemic like the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), can emerge from anywhere and quickly spread globally.\u00a0\u00a0It can be difficult to predict when or where the next novel pandemic will emerge. Mass care and emergency assistance planners, providers, and support agencies should consider the geographic scope and severity of a pandemic event. Pandemic events have various and more complex planning elements that must be considered to ensure safe and successful delivery of mass care resources and services.\u00a0\u00a0These types of natural phenomena need to be considered in the strategic planning process for federal, state, and local homeland security organizations.

Assess if the strategic plan was effective in preparing for and responding to the current global pandemic.
\nThis assignment consists of conducting detailed research and analysis on a specific state and its homeland security strategic plan.\u00a0\u00a0In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, review the specifics of the state\u2019s strategic plan as it pertains to a public health crisis, and prepare a critique of the state\u2019s plan from a public health crisis perspective.\u00a0
