You may want to establish hotlines, web postings, and telephone trees to communicate pandemic status, plans, and actions to employees in a consistent and timely fashion.

• Personal and family response strategies (e.g., hand hygiene, coughing/sneezing etiquette, contingency plans).
• Community and workplace mitigation strategies (e.g., social distancing, provision of infection control supplies).
