Although the last flu pandemic occurred several decades ago, more recent threats have spurred federal and state pandemic planning and response activities. If a pandemic or similar catastrophe occurs, businesses will play an integral part not only in protecting their employees’ health, but also in providing essential community services such as food, water, and power.
“Surviving the Pandemic,” is designed to help representatives from small- and medium-sized companies and nonprofit organizations assess their levels of preparedness and begin to develop their own company-specific plans.
