Utilizing Lessons Learned from SARS for Pandemic Planning
When severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) arrived in Canada, the nation’s largest airport was caught in a major crisis while public health and emergency officials worked to limit the spread of the disease.

Public-Private Partnerships
An ongoing relationship with government is essential to a robust and evolving business continuity plan. Each level of government plays an important role in handling a disaster, and private sector firms must understand those roles and what they can and cannot expect from the public sector in a time of crisis. Through a relationship with the public sector, firms may be able to obtain daily incident information, access to an operations centre during an emergency, and cooperation in learning more about evacuations, credentialing, pandemic planning and other critical issues. This paper demonstrates the value of forging such a relationship with government through a regional partnership. >download article
