(for non-Government organisations)
Introduction
This kit has been developed to assist you in preparing your organisation for a potential human influenza pandemic. The kit will help you understand what a human influenza pandemic is. It explains the impact a pandemic could have on your organisation, the community and the provision of services, and how important it is to have a plan in place to help your organisation cope.
It provides some practical tools and information to assist you in thinking about and developing your pandemic plan.
Experience has shown that preparedness is key to organisational and community recovery from the impacts of disasters, so investing in preparations now will pay off in the future.
