'Understanding Pandemics: The Human Side of Business Continuity Planning'

Complimentary Web seminar, Tuesday, August 22, 2006

Time: 9:00 AM Pacific / 12:00 PM Eastern
Duration: 45 Minutes

Like many organizations, chances are you're making crisis preparedness and response a key focus of your business continuity planning. But even if your company's business continuity plan serves to protect its physical assets, is it also addressing the human side of disasters? In a disaster or crisis scenario when illness and fatalities are widespread, many employees, partners and suppliers may be unable to work for extended periods of time and there may be significant disruptions to normal operations.

In this complimentary Webcast, Lisa Koonin, chief of the Private and Public Partners Branch in the Division of Partnerships and Strategic Alliances, National Center for Health Marketing at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will discuss the threat of impending pandemics. Joining Lisa will be Rich Cocchiara, chief technology officer of Business Continuity and Resilience Services with IBM Global Technology Services, who will share information about business continuity planning and the best practices that can help you stay ahead of the curve.
