COMING UP...

Rapid Action Pandemic Planning - For the Occupational Health and Safety Professional

Date: Wednesday, August 5, 2009
Time: 2:00 PM Eastern / 11:00 AM Pacific

This session will walk Occupational Health and Safety professionals step-by-step through the DHS guidelines for public and private sectors and provide you with the tools to identify the overlap between the Continuity of Operations Essential (COP-E) guidelines as prescribed by DHS and your existing contingency plans. As an attendee, you will be able to self-evaluate and engage in a Rapid Pandemic Planning effort by using your existing plans as a starting point. You will learn how to evaluate your plans to determine the effort needed by your organization today to get started on a Rapid Action Pandemic Plan. Real action now will be the key take-away from this historical Webinar as you will have in hand exactly what the gap is between the standard and your BC/DR plans and the time needed to address it.

This is not a session for beginners and assumes a background of knowledge of contingency planning as well as attendance at the original Rapid Action Planning Webinar.
