CDC: Get Your Workplace Ready - After a Flu Pandemic Has Ended: Follow Up

Evaluate the effectiveness of your emergency operations and communication plans

• Discuss and note lessons learned. Gather feedback from workers and key community partners and stakeholders to improve your plans. Identify any gaps in your plans and any needs you may have for additional resources.

• Maintain and expand your emergency planning team. Look for ways to expand community partnerships. Identify agencies or partners needed to help you prepare for pandemic flu, and make an effort to add them to your planning team.

• Revisit your risk-assessment and riskmanagement plan. Determine ways to improve planning and implementation processes. Assess the availability of medical, mental health, and social services for workers.

• Update and practice your emergency operations and communication plans every 12–18 months, or as aspects of your workplace change. Update your plans based on lessons learned, and replace necessary supplies and equipment.
