Is your business prepared?
If not, begin developing a continuity of operations plan (COOP) now.

Preparing a COOP will help your business survive the economic affects of a pandemic. The survival of your business will also help stabilize the national economy.

There will most likely be major disruptions to every industry, particularly those with strong ties to travel, tourism, sports and entertainment, lodging, and health care. Experts at The World Bank predict that there could be $800 billion in worldwide economic damage.

Update:
Avian Influenza
Currently, there is a pandemic among birds that has killed hundreds of millions of birds and more than 100 humans who had close contact with infected birds.

The virus is spreading across Asia, Russia, Europe, and Africa, but has not come to the United States yet.

When the H5N1 virus is detected in the United States, it will NOT signal the start of a human pandemic.

We do not know if the H5N1 virus will ever mutate into a form that is easily spread from person-to-person. However, if it does, it could cause widespread illness and death. So, we must prepare.
