About This IAML AudioPro ConferenceSM:
The bird flu threat is receiving increasing attention, as well it should. The bird flu is a potential calamity around the world, including, eventually North America. Most experts say the question is not if, but when the next influenza pandemic will strike.

Yet, every company in North America has an opportunity (and responsibility) to take steps to protect its employees, its customers and its families to prepare for what may be one of the biggest disasters in modern history. No one can afford to be unprepared. Planning is critical and will be rewarded.

This teleconference will educate you in what the issues and risks are and what planning and preparation you should make regarding the bird flu.

This IAML AudioProSM Teleconference will provide participants with a working knowledge of the following:

  • What exactly is "bird flu" and why is it so dangerous?
  • What is its status in the world now and how soon could it arrive in North America?
  • What are the political, social, economic and moral consequences of a bird flu pandemic in North America?
  • How do we get our company prepared for bird flu and most importantly, how do we protect our employees, our customers and our families?
  • What will happen to critical services when bird flu hits?
  • What products and supplies do we need to stockpile now while we still have time to prepared?
  • What types of crisis management/communicable disease plans do we need to have in place?
  • How do we communicate with our employees and customers in order to avoid panic and minimize the fear that will be associated with a pandemic?
  • What strategies do we need to implement now to give us the greatest advantage: for example, what are the recommendations for senior management, as well as our HR, IT, legal and security departments?
  • What measures can we take in the workplace to make it as disease free as possible so our employees and customers can be as safe as possible?
  • What sort of checklists do we need to be sure we have covered everything?

Don't miss this opportunity to learn what your organization should do to prepare for the possible bird flu epidemic.
