Scenario planning for a pandemic

A few years ago, the government organized a scenario planning exercise to deal with the pandemic. The outcome was a framework to deal with the crisis. It created the concept of DORSCON orange and DORSCON red.

DORSCON is the acronym for Disease Outbreak Response System Control.
It sounded impressive. After all, the planners needed to justify the large sums, perhaps several millions dollars, spent on the scenario planning exercise. The consultant fees must be hefty.

What happened to this exercise. Here is my speculation.
