Business Continuity Management in the Wake of a Pandemic
Noel Gillard
Director for the State Health Emergency Coordination Centre (SHECC)
Synopsis
As Australia, and Queensland currently respond to the first pandemic in over 40 years, we will look at the history of pandemics, planning assumptions, strategies for the business community to deal with a pandemic, what the government is doing to assist the general community. We will also discuss the health structure both at Commonwealth and State level and how the "all hazards" approach to disaster management is implemented in such cases. Similarly we will discuss community perceptions as to whether the government is over reacting to`the current pandemic or indeed not doing enough and how it has affected the business community.
