Pandemic Preparedness

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has developed strategies to address epidemic and pandemic outbreaks; however, they also stress that prevention training and crisis planning is a corporate social responsibility. Pandemic Preparedness features five segments modeled after the Homeland Security Pandemic Plan. Participants will discover how to prepare for a pandemic, what to be aware of, how to prevent contracting and spreading viruses, and how to assist the community in the event of an epidemic or pandemic spread.

Businesses that provide critical services including healthcare, telecommunications, electricity, and other vital utilities have an imperative responsibility to create a business continuity plan ensuring limited service disruptions in the event of a pandemic. Your employees, your customers and your community all depend on you to remain in operation during critical times.

The best strategies for pandemic preparedness focus on prevention, awareness, and immediate response. Utilize this course to strengthen your organization's expertise and readiness. The course leader guide offers additional value added information and links to government resources to support your plan. Be proactive and start preparing today.
