| H5N1 (pandemic mutation) | LOW | CATASTROPHIC | LONG-TERM | Maintain preparedness; no immediate action |
| Mpox Clade Ib (EU spread) | HIGH | MODERATE | NEAR-TERM | Monitor weekly; verify vaccination status |
| Measles resurgence (EU) | MODERATE | MODERATE | ONGOING | Verify MMR ×2 doses; avoid unvaccinated exposure |

Pandemic Preparedness Checklist
Supplies and actions recommended by public health authorities for household pandemic readiness.
Pharmacy supply chains are first to disrupt in outbreaks
Airborne pathogen protection — surgical masks insufficient for high-risk exposure
Contact transmission prevention and wound management
Fever monitoring — first sign of most infections
Blood oxygen monitoring — critical indicator in respiratory illness (COVID proved this)
Critical for diarrhoeal illness; dehydration kills faster than the underlying infection
Hospital access may be severely limited during peak outbreak
