A Business Continuity Seminar, examining the threat of a 'flu pandemic, aimed at businesses and voluntary organisations of all sizes.
The devastation a pandemic 'flu outbreak might cause has been well documented by the media. The Department of Health estimates that 25% of the UK population could become ill and as many as 50,000 could die. History suggests a 'flu pandemic is 'due'. Would your business survive?
This unique event, hosted by the Bristol City Council with support from Gematech and the Continuity Forum examines the effects pandemic 'flu might have on Bristol's businesses.
The seminar will explore:
How the threat is perceived by the Health Authorities
How a 'flu pandemic might unfold
Government planning currently underway
How a pandemic might affect businesses
The planning businesses themselves could be doing
Business continuity solutions businesses could consider
With eminent speakers from the field of communicable diseases and established emergency planning and business continuity experts, this event promises to provide significant insight into the threat of pandemic 'flu and the preparations businesses and other organisations should be making now.
If you are worried about how a pandemic 'flu outbreak might affect your business or organisation, this is an event you cannot afford to miss.
