The analysis of the above frameworks shown in Table 1 indicates that managing a pandemic
encompasses a generic three-step process:

1. Preparatory step – before the crisis: This step consists of actions that deal with the organization
of a public health system that performs continuous threat analysis, accompanied by training
activities and information collection, processing and release. It also involves the implementation
of measures that secure the community against typical threat factors. Indices and mathematical
