Models for managing the impact of an epidemic

In this paper we consider robust models of surge capacity plans to be deployed in the event of a flu pandemic. In particular, we focus on managing critical staff levels at organizations that must remain operational during such an event. We develop efficient procedures for managing emergency resources so as to minimize the impact of the pandemic. We present experiments using realistic data to study the effectiveness of our approach.
