Advice for businesses
Havant Borough Council is continuing its Business Continuity
Planning (BCP) and is working closely with the Government, other
local authorities, the
HPA
and the
NHS
.
We have comprehensive plans in place to maintain and deliver
critical services should they be needed.
Local businesses need to consider
BCP
plans to maintain their
businesses during emergencies. For more advice please visit the web
sites below.
It has been brought to our attention by the British Chambers of
Commerce that some small and medium sized businesses do not feel
they have had sufficient information about how they may be affected
by a swine flu pandemic. We would therefore like to remind you of
the following publication which has been produced by the Government
for business:
Practical advice for business - Business Link >>
