<p>This paper explores pandemic planning efforts across federal and state  jurisdictions and how the absence of collaboration could have major consequences upon  the population of the United States. How adequate are state and federal pandemic plans,  and what must be done nationally to address common shortfalls? The methodology used  a hybrid approach by combining a secondary analysis of available data with a modified  case study approach. Analyzing the individual state plans and HHS' Pandemic Influenza  Plan revealed common deficiencies, and disclosed distinct functional areas where  stringent collaboration across multiple jurisdictions and functional areas would mitigate  the deficiencies and provide a blueprint for potential development into an all-hazards  national catastrophe plan. This resultant comprehensive plan would provide a solid  template for all stakeholders to use in further development of their individual plans, and  additionally provide a mechanism to propagate proactive planning efforts among  international disaster preparedness partners.
