IBEC urges businesses to plan for natural disasters

IBEC has advised companies to review plans in light of new risks, such as a possible flu pandemic.

Pat Delaney, IBEC Director of Sectors and Regions, said: "Recent disasters, including the terrorist attack of 9/11, fuel explosions, hurricanes and floods, as well as the threat of a flu pandemic mean that all Irish businesses must review risks and take actions to minimise the consequences of a global or local disaster.
