In the event of pandemic influenza, businesses will play a key role in protecting employees' health and safety as well as limiting the negative impact to the economy and society. Planning for pandemic influenza is critical. Companies that provide critical infrastructure services, such as power and telecommunications, also have a special responsibility to plan for continued operation in a crisis and should plan accordingly. As with any catastrophe, having a contingency plan is essential.
AISER have developed guidelines (in accordance to guidelines developed by United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)), including a checklist, to assist businesses in planning for a pandemic outbreak as well as for other comparable catastrophes.
