ABSTRACT
“There’s never time to do it right, but there’s always time to do it over.” This chapter explains how the pandemic prevention-and-response enterprise architecture, inclusive of all practitioner and administrator agencies and their relevant domains, will interoperate. It describes how to develop a “detect, (automatically) protect, alert, respond, recover, and improve,” plan to prevent the “shock and awe” that happened at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan would include means to ensure if key officials don’t act, there are paths around them to continue the momentum for the necessary Government actions – so as not to rely on the “uninformed or politically motivated” inaction. This chapter will present the framework and roadmap for a federated system of all organizations in the response timeline based on best practices from engineering and systems management. © 2022 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
