iJet releases study on business impact of avian flu pandemic
Using data drawn from its World Pandemic monitoring system, research firm lays out preparation strategies for business; free report available by contacting company
Business-minded folk, when thinking about business continuity, typically imagine a scenario involving a massive terrorist attack or an eqaully destructive natural disaster. More attention, however, should be placed on pandemics, particularly avian flu, and to help out with that is a new study by Annapolis, Maryland-based research firm iJET Intelligent Risk Systems. “Avian Influenza and Pandemic Planning 2006: Year in Review,” available for free by contacting the company, provides an overview of global developments and initiatives regarding avian flu and aims to help corporations and organizations more effectively continue with pandemic planning efforts.
“Pandemic monitoring and planning is a very serious societal and business consideration,” said iJet’s Dr. Joan Pfinsgraff. “It is essential for organizations to not only plan for the potential consequences of a pandemic, but also to engage suppliers, partners and local communities in that planning.” The report, which is based in data from iJet’s World Pandemic Monitor, chronicles the activity of avian influenza during 2006, including its dramatic geographic expansion during the first half of the year.
