Communicable Illness/Pandemic

One of the greatest threats facing businesses today is communicable illness/pandemic outbreaks. A communicable illness/pandemic has unique impacts on individuals, families, businesses, and healthcare providers. The impacts are not lost physical infrastructure. The impacts are lost lives, lost work, lost revenue, lost wages, and lost personnel. In a pandemic, everyone feels the impact whether they become infected or not. 

To meet the current H1N1 pandemic threat, Firestorm has introduced a new product; Communicable Illness/Pandemic Planning ToolKit: Fast Start for H1N1.

Whether it is the H1NI flu, MRSA Staph infection, meningitis, or other exposure, a Pandemic or Communicable Illness Plan is a critical component to every Business Continuity Plan today. Firestorm’s Expert Council includes health expertise from the doctor who first identified SARS, three former Surgeons General, and experts in behavioral health and Post Traumatic Stress.

·         H1N1 should be addressed as well as other similar future health threats and communicable diseases. These additions will help improve the overall preparedness and effectiveness of current continuity plans.

·         To augment the Communicable Illness/Pandemic Planning Toolkit, Firestorm can offer a comprehensive approach to preparedness for all communicable illness, where we will conduct a  benchmark/gap analysis of a client’s Continuity and Pandemic Plans and review existing documents, policies, and procedures.

·         Firestorm will identify plan activation triggers and monitoring plans.

·         Once a Pandemic Plan is completed, training and testing will be conducted. The training makes all staff aware of their duties under the pandemic plan, will increase everyone’s awareness of preparedness issues, and demonstrates where plans require modification. All plans must be tested.
