1-Day Pandemic Influenza : Building a Continuity Plan (BCOE-PF1)
The continuing risk presented by Influenza A (H1N1) or avian
influenza (H5N1) has resulted in organizations taking definitive
steps to reduce the impact of a pandemic on their employee base and
business operations. While there is no way to predict exactly when
a pandemic will occur, or the severity of the impact, the World
Health Organization [WHO] has consistently stated that the risk of
H1N1 or H5N1 developing into the next human pandemic influenza is
immediate and very real. This 1-Day BCOE-PF1, Business Continuity
Planning for Pandemic Influenza provides an in-depth review and
analysis of a specialized methodology that serves the need to
prepare businesses for a potential outbreak of pandemic influenza.
Topics cover a full range from starting to think through the
differences in a pandemic-specific plan to exercising and
maintaining such a plan. This course is intended to provide a
roadmap for the development of a robust Pandemic Preparedness Plan.
Learners are provided with a thorough, step-by step guide, which is
supported with a variety of tools to assist in project management,
data gathering and creation of your final plan document.
In alignment with the 10 Professional Practices for Business
Continuity Professionals, BCOE-PF1 escorts learners through the
detailed phases of proper, efficient and strategic planning.
Participants in this course hold the objective of optimal
information absorption in the effort to support and retain
preparedness across the organizations they support. The structure
of the course involves the reading of recommended methods, the
taking of tests after each of the steps, and follow-on,
downloadable resources to aid participants in building a plan for
their organization.
