NFC's Human Pandemic Plan                                         

A human pandemic is a global disease outbreak. A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges for which people have little or no immunity and for which there is no vaccine. The disease spreads easily person-to-person, causing serious illness, and can sweep across the country and around the world in a very short time. Public health experts warn pandemic influenza poses a significant risk to the United States and the world-only its timing, severity, and exact strain remain uncertain.

Successful pandemic preparedness for such an outbreak demands our full attention and participation. We know what priorities and choices we need to consider in maintaining essential levels of services for our employees and our customers. We also know how advance planning and preparedness can help sustain our critical infrastructure for business continuity. Please note that we remain committed to be prepared and continue to refine our planning as more concerns and issues emerge.
