• Main Article

Written by Phil on September 2, 2009 in Business Continuity, Pandemics.

Here’s guidance for small employers, facing the specter of a fresh outbreak of the H1N1 pandemic in North America this fall. Smart small business owners should always prepare and regularly update business continuity plans in case their operations are slowed or shut down entirely due to a natural or manmade disaster. But the push for planning is particularly strong this summer with the specter of a renewed outbreak of pandemic swine flu in North America this fall. See Preparing for a Renewed Swine Flu Outbreak, by Karen E. Klein for Businessweek.
