Plan
Pandemic Continuity Plan
This plan defines the organization's continuity posture for a pandemic or other prolonged workforce-impacting disruption (severe respiratory disease, novel infectious outbreak, prolonged civil unrest affecting facility access, prolonged extreme weather affecting commuting). It covers staged activation, workforce health, remote-work scaling, supplier impact, facility and operational adjustments, essential-service prioritization, communications, deactivation, and learning. It is a sister plan to the IT disaster recovery plan and the business continuity and crisis management plan.
