H1N1 Toolkit: Tips on Being Prepared
- Put signs and cleansers at each sink reminding everyone to wash their hands.
- Consider distributing wipes or hand cleaners to encourage healthful habits in the workplace.
- Plan for how business can continue if many employees must stay home. Designate and train other employees in the event someone becomes sick to make sure you can continue your critical functions.
- Encourage vulnerable workers to get the seasonal flu vaccine and also the H1N1 vaccine as soon as it becomes available.
- Start a regular practice of cleaning surfaces in work areas, stock up on cleaning supplies, and tissues.
- Consider whether staggered work hours or telecommuting could help keep operations going and limit flu transmission if an outbreak sweeps through the office.
- Consider what the impact would be if your nonprofit’s employees were sick but your clients/consumers were not, or vice-versa.
- Who is in charge of website updates? If that person is out sick, do you have someone else who can fill-in?
- Is your office contact sheet up-to-date with home phone numbers and emergency contacts for employees and volunteers (as applicable)?
- If someone were to become very ill at the office, do you have local EMT/emergency responders’ numbers at the ready?
- In a severe influenza outbreak in a community there could be closures of offices such as the post office, banks, government buildings, libraries etc., as well as disruption of services, such as the US mail and other vendor/delivery services. Consider what is essential for business operations and personal needs and keep on hand what your nonprofit will need in an emergency (a certain amount of cash? Extra supplies? food, medications and/or water for clients or staff?)
