Private sector pandemic flu preparation resources
Private-sector continuity of operations planning (COOP) for a pandemic emergency is, we predict, the next big thing. Here, to help get the ball rolling, is a list of useful information:
PandemicFlu.gov - Business & Industry Planning - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Most useful is the "Influenza Planning Checklist".
CIDRAP Business Planning Section - Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy at the University of Minnesota - February 2006. CIDRAP hosted a national summit on COOP for businesses. Many useful reports, references, and documents.
It's Not Flu As Usual - Trust for America's Health. Straightforward PDF brochures for businesses, health-care professionals, and community organizations, with "What you can do now" checklists.
Pandemic Influenza Emergency Response Manual - Human Resources Division - King County, Washington, February 2006. Detailed plans and policies to guide county-wide human resources activity in a pandemic emergency. (Big.)
Grocery Business COOP White Paper - August 2005. An anonymous grocery wholesale and retail company prepared this industry-sector analysis for the CIDRAP conference.
Water Utility COOP Guide - Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA), March 1 2006. Customized planning checklist for water utilities.
Electric Utility COOP Guide - North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), February 2006. Customized checklist for electricity utilities. (Look in the list for "Influenza Pandemic Reference Guide.")
