Business Continuity Tip
The Unknown
Risk Ahead
With
nearly 80% of its staff still furloughed, the Center for Disease
Control is forced to watch this year's start to flu season from the
sidelines. As a result, it's unclear how many Americans have been
infected, how badly, and which bugs are to blame. To make matters
worse, the Mayo Clinic reports the repercussions will continue to
impact the season well after the government reopens, stating the
CDC is now, "behind the curve."
More than ever, the importance of being
prepared this year cannot be overstated. A flu outbreak can have a
huge impact on your organization's ability to operate.
