Is Your Pandemic Preparedness Plan Effective for COVID-19?

Were You Prepared for the Pandemic This Time?

If the answer is yes, who's to say that the next pandemic will take the same shape and form as the COVID-19 outbreak? Coronavirus had an extreme infection rate, but its fatality rate was (relatively) low compared to many other viruses. Is your Pandemic Preparedness Plan able to cater to a range of infectious diseases with variations of infection, lethality, and transmission methods?

If the answer is no, then you MUST be prepared for next time. COVID-19 (and prior to this the SARs outbreak) had more than demonstrated that the modern pandemic outbreak is more than a theoretical possibility. Yet, so many companies -and even nations- around the world were ill-prepared for it.

This webinar is here to illuminate the necessity of not just the Pandemic Preparedness plan to properly handle an outbreak on an organizational, but also how they work together with the Business Continuity, Crisis Management, and IT Disaster Recovery plans. This webinar will also cover:

• How to ensure that your Pandemic Preparedness plan actually works
• How to ensure everyone in your organization -senior management, managers, staff- know their roles and responsibilities and know how to play them
• How to create, script, and run your own Pandemic Simulation exercise to the most organic and realistic degree possible
• How does your Pandemic Preparedness Plan synergize together with all your other plans

COVID-19 has taken a massive toll on the entire world. Countless lives were lost. Economies have been disrupted and livelihoods have been lost because of the persistence of this pandemic. Moving forward, the lesson we need to take from this is preparation; precautionary procedures that need to be outlined long before the next big crisis hits.
