The current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has been spreading across the globe infecting tens of thousands of people. Supply chains have been interrupted. Public health interventions have been implemented that affect businesses and events. What should an organization be doing now to prepare? This webinar looks at this public health crisis from two distinct perspectives: Infectious Disease Business Continuity Planning and Crisis Management. Does an organization have the right plans in place to continue operations during an infectious disease outbreak? Is there a process in place to gather and analyze current information and make informed decisions? Is there a crisis management process and team in place? When does a firm activate them? By preparing in advance, participants can take actions that help to minimize the effect on their events. Join this webinar to increase the participant's understanding of the COVID-19 situation, improve their business continuity plan to address the Coronavirus outbreak, and fine tune their crisis management process.
