Pandemic 101 recognizes that companies and organizations need timely and sometimes specific information and advice as the swine flu evolves. In order to accommodate the current surge we are offering a new service, The Pandemic 101™ Advisory Team Service.
Our team consists of Dr. James Young, Dr. Ron St. John, Scott Ashley and David Howell. The doctors played key roles in managing the SARS crisis response at the provincial and federal levels respectively. David Howell is an experienced business continuity consultant and Scott Ashley has many years experience in emergency planning and response management and was the original designer and creator of the Pandemic 101 Program.
Many of the questions organizations have are common to each other. For this reason we are offering a daily webinar. Clients will be able to send in questions prior to the daily broadcast and following the broadcast, necessary documents and sample directives will be sent out through this mechanism. This is being set up with a 30-day contract fee of $3,500 and will start May 1st, 2009. All costs are in Canadian dollars and include all applicable taxes.
There may well be specific questions and challenges that companies and organizations face. AMI Business Resilience provides end-to end solutions for most business issues as well as Pandemic Planning.
One of the best defenses against a pandemic remains a vigorous plan. The Pandemic101 web based plan offers an easy to initiate, organized plan that can be populated to meet the specifics of your company. It contains many forms and communications to assist in the management of a Pandemic response. It is not too late to create such a plan and we would strongly recommend that all organizations use this window of opportunity to create such a living document.
The Pandemic 101 Advisory Team Program provides the following services:
- Daily access to our team of experts
- A portal to receive email questions from our clients
- Updated documents on communications, medical advisories, and pandemic planning and preparedness source documents providing actionable responses to the situations that unfold over the next month.
