Preparing for Pandemic Influenza
|
updated March 13, 2008
Experts at the World Health Organization and elsewhere believe that the world is now closer to another influenza pandemic than at any time since 1968, when the last of the previous century's three pandemics occurred. WHO uses a series of six phases of pandemic alert as a system for informing the world of the seriousness of the threat and of the need to launch progressively more intense preparedness activities. |
Safety Priority is helping clients prepare emergency action plans, staffing contingency models, business/operations continuity plans, and other strategies to be as prepared as possible if H5N1 mutates to cause a world-wide pandemic. It may not happen at all, or it may happen in months or years, or it may be upon us with little or no warning.
