87% Of US Employers Not Prepared For A Pandemic Outbreak
According to the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions/ERISA Industry Council survey taken in November 2005, only seven out of 50 American businesses claim to have adequately planned for a possible pandemic that the World Health Organization (WHO) says is “serious.” What is especially disturbing is that the WHO goes on to say that the world is now closer to another pandemic than at any time since the Hong Kong flu of 1968 hit.
BOMI International, a leader in facilities and property education for over 35 years, is holding a webcast this July to prepare professionals for the ominous threat of an epidemic. The webcast will be conducted Tuesday, July 15, 1:30-3 p.m. EST. Enrolled professionals will learn how to create, manage, and execute a successful pandemic response plan from Sam Smith, a former director of disaster recovery and physical security for a major telecommunications data center.
Students will learn the key components of a response plan including, how to mitigate the impact of an outbreak, essential communication strategies, and how to minimize liability and the financial impact related to a pandemic. The seminar even comes with pandemic response checklists that can be used as is, or modified to fit a specific organization’s needs.
During the sizzling summer months when the chances of an epidemic are high, BOMI International prepares facility professionals and real property managers to handle any emergency situation with order and ease while competitors scramble to react. BOMI International classes help the traveling professional; all you need is a telephone and a computer.
