Business Planning
Is your business ready for a pandemic, fire, earthquake or other disaster? You can learn more about how to reduce business interruptions and keep your business up and running along with recovery from financial losses by accessing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services business planning checklist at http://www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/tab4.html/.
Business preparedness for pandemic influenza is critical
and will help to protect employee health and reduce negative
impacts on the economy and society. There are key activities
that businesses can do to be better prepared. Some of the
activities include:
- Determine your business's risks from pandemic influenza.
- Develop emergency response plans.
- Work with your medical advisor on ways to protect employees.
- Develop or update business continuity plans. Identify
essential functions and personnel needed to keep your business
running.
- Learn about community resources that can help in a pandemic.
Investing time in preparedness planning now can help to protect
your business later.
