You've invested significant time and resources into making your business work. Your business is important to you, your family, your employees, your customers and the community. So, it is important that you take the time and effort necessary to plan to protect your investment. Public health experts agree the world is due for another influenza pandemic, an epidemic of a new flu virus that spreads and affects people around the globe. Because there will be no immunity from this new virus, and because there will be no vaccine available for several months after the pandemic begins, we are all at risk from the threat of a flu pandemic.
According to current projections, a flu pandemic could have significant impacts on businesses and society. Some of these impacts include: Absenteeism could reach as high as 30 to 40 percent everywhere. People may be sick for extended periods of time. People may need to stay at home for many days to care for sick loved ones. Schools and day care centers may be closed, perhaps for extended periods of time. Disruptions may occur in such critical areas as public safety and emergency response, fuel delivery and product shipping.
This guide was developed to help you begin the process of planning for a flu pandemic. By following seven simple steps, the guide helps you identify a variety of issues to consider, learn key elements to a flu pandemic business plan, and chart a course of action you can take now to prepare yourself, your employees and your business.
