"This report provides businesses with the necessary information to be prepared for a pandemic. In particular, it lists practical actions that should be incorporated into each organisation?s business continuity and emergency management (BC/EM) plans. These actions align with the pandemic phases in the 'Australian Action Plan for Pandemic Influenza (June 2005).' Pandemics are like terrorism - both are probable but no one knows when, or what their consequences will be. Thus pandemics should be treated in the same way as terrorism and other risks. That is, by applying risk management to the threat, and incorporating the threat into BC/EM plans." -- p. 4.
