Pandemic - Business Planning
If your organization is serious about business continuity, it must have a specific plan to deal with the problems a pandemic can cause.
C.A.F.E. has been an active participant with the Federal Private Sector Working Group on Pandemic Influenza Planning. The following web sites provide concise and straight forward information and news about the potential dangers of pandemic flu, also known as avian flu or swine flu, and what you must do now to inform and protect yourself, your family or business:
The Guide includes information about how to develop a pandemic plan (with a check list), symptoms and those at risk of developing complications, how to prevent the virus (protect and prevent), how to take care of someone who is sick with the virus, as well as additional resources for more information.
There are several ways you can obtain a copy of the Guide.
If you would like to distribute bulk copies within your organization, please call 1-800 O-Canada.
