Overview:
At the heart of contingency planning and management is information – its accuracy and its efficient dissemination.

One top-of-mind concern for organizations this Fall is the predicted reemergence of H1N1. Recent conflicting reports of what’s expected are causing widespread confusion. So far this year the H1N1 virus has infected more than 1 million people across the nation and will pose a more serious threat in the coming months. The presidential advisory panel reported Monday, August 31, 2009 that the H1N1 virus, commonly known as Swine Flu, could infect between 30 and 50% of the American population and could lead to as many as 90,000 deaths this Fall and Winter.

If one-third of your staff is suddenly home with the H1N1 Flu, how will you continue during their absence? As the next wave of H1N1 hits, mass notification will play a crucial role in business continuity. Businesses with an effective emergency notification plan in place will be prepared to reach all staff with critical information, to communicate alternative work centers and workaround plans—all in a fast and reliable manner to ensure continued operations.
