Abstract
This book presents a variety of operations research modeling initiatives related to pandemic planning. This chapter briefly reviews the progress of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and outlines the content of the remainder of the book. COVID-19 has shut down a large part of the global economy for months since early 2020, causing health ramifications including over 100,000 deaths globally. The tools presented in this book offer a means to prepare or cope with pandemics.
