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.

Public Health Services is working with local business leaders who are developing or enhancing current disaster plans to include pandemic preparedness.
