Pandemic influenza is unlike other disaster's we routinely deal with. The effects of a pandemic will be widespread, likely worldwide. In addition, the emergency phase of this disaster will come in waves, stretch out over months and will be a huge draw on the health system. For governments and organizations, the primary effect of this disaster will be on staffing levels, as staff may be unable to be at work for indeterminate amounts of time.

Can you continue your time-critical business when faced with long-term staffing shortages? Are there things you can do now to help you during a pandemic?

Come join us as we explore the effects of a long-term staffing disruption and how we might increase our resilience to this kind of emergency.
