In addition to my official job title “Head of Corporate Security”, I have another special role in crisis management — “Flu Manager”.
That’s what I am supposed to be when an endemic or pandemic strikes in a crisis scenario.
If you are also the crisis coordinator of your crisis team, you need now familiarize yourself with the reoccurring “Plague” reported recently in Beijing.
I am not an expert in pandemics and I am still learning about the horrifying disease and monitoring the situation, but to save your time and efforts, below I’ve listed all the resources for you to understand the subject.
