There have been a variety of urgent appeals from the
leading public health groups
and most national
governments throughout the world for communities and
businesses to aggressively prepare for the possibility that an influenza
pandemic could develop from the H5N1 influenza variants currently circulating in
many parts of the world.
Even with strong
management and planning in place, the disruption from a pandemic will be
significant. The current influenza virus (H5N1) circulating in many parts of the
world has the potential to be very severe with an impact that could rival or
exceed the morbidity, mortality and societal and economic disruptions
experienced during the 1918 “Spanish Flu” pandemic when an estimated 50+ million
people died world-wide.
A pandemic influenza
outbreak is a world-wide event that will significantly affect all countries,
company business locations, customers and suppliers.
We can assist companies to become better
prepared to protect your staff, customers and business operations to maximize
readiness for the possibility of an influenza pandemic. This can include company
specific pandemic planning including:
presentations and education sessions for executives and staff, gap assessments,
business continuity planning, policies & procedures, desktop exercises, project
management assistance, physician reviews and strategic assessments to look at
company and industry specific issues. |
