There won't be any time for planning, only action, when the H1N1 (swine flu) virus returns to the U.S. this fall, says business continuity planning expert Harry Rhulen.
In an exclusive interview, Rhulen discusses:
Why "checkbox" compliance and planning aren't enough;
What's happening in the southern hemisphere and what it will mean later this fall for the U.S.;
Major human resource issues that still must be addressed.
Rhulen is Chairman and CEO of Firestorm Solutions, a BCP and disaster recovery consulting firm based in Denver, CO. He is also co-author of the book "Disaster Ready People For A Disaster Ready America." Two additional books will be published this year on pandemic planning: "The Pandemic Scam -Why Plan?" and "Luck is Not a Strategic Plan."
