It’s tough to be prepared for pandemics (as can be demonstrated by the current outbreak of Ebola).  Viruses mutate and form new strains, keeping health officials and scientists on their feet.  The majority of what the CDC does to prepare for a possible pandemic is predominantly by continued research and education.  Check out the link below and scroll to “What is CDC doing to prepare for a possible H5N1 influenza pandemic?” for CDC’s comprehensive plan for preparedness. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/qa.htm
