There are a few things an employer could do when planning for an influenza pandemic in the workplace. Items such as soap, tissue, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies should be kept in stock. An employer should develop policies that distance employees from each other and the general public. An employer should also provide training on proper health and safety practices.

What is a pandemic flu?
Pandemic Flu Pandemic refers to contagious or infectious diseases that are usually worldwide or spread across several continents. Some examples of diseases that have caused past pandemics would be cholera, small pox, the bubonic plague, typhus, the Spanish flu, and the Asian flu. Flu refers to influenza. Human influenza pandemics, such as the 2009 novel swine flu (A-H1N1/09) pandemic, are caused by the influenza virus subtypes of A-H1N1. A-H1N1/09 is the subtype that caused this recent swine flu pandemic. It was declared a pandemic on June 11, 2009 by WHO (World Health Organisation). A flu virus that becomes prevalent throughout the world (Apex)
What are the phases in a pandemic that the WHO has developed to prepare and plan for pandemic management?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a system for alerts and communication of the severity or spread of an influenza epidemic, for purposes of preparedness for an influenza pandemic (see below for definition of pandemic), for the US National Preparedness Plan. They have defined six phases of outbreaks that have potential to become an influenza pandemic.2011 ~ We are currently in the Post Pandemic Phase.A synopsis of each phase's definition is provided below, for the full information from the WHO, see the related links section near the bottom of this answer page.Phase 1In nature, flu viruses circulate continuously among animals. Even though such viruses might develop into pandemic viruses, no viruses circulating among animals at the present time have been reported to cause infections in humans.Phase 2An animal influenza virus that is currently circulating among domesticated or wild animals is known to have caused infection in humans, and is therefore considered a potential pandemic threat.Phase 3There are small clusters of animal-human virus infecting people at present, these are being monitored, but it has currently not resulted in human-to-human transmission frequency sufficient to sustain community-level outbreaks, which would be required to initiate pandemic proportions.Phase 4There is human-to-human transmission of animal or human-animal virus able to create sustained community level outbreaks which significantly raises the level of risk of a pandemic, but does not indicate that a pandemic is a fore-gone conclusion.Phase 5Large areas of human-to-human transmission are occurring, and the spread has extended to at least two countries in the same region, which is a strong signal that pandemic is imminent, and containment procedures and preparedness should be being finalized.Phase 6The Pandemic Phase. The community level outbreaks of the virus are continually spreading among people and to at least one other country in a second region globally, and WHO declares a global pandemic is under way.The Pandemic will progress through the post peak period of the pandemic phase and then to the post pandemic phase.The Post Pandemic PhaseWhen the peak period of infection has passed and only a few outbreaks here and there remain, the WHO will declare the pandemic is over and the Post Pandemic Phase is begun. There will be continued observation and monitoring during of waves of the pandemic recurring before finally returning to the normal seasonal levels.World Health Organization has announced that the world is now in the Post Pandemic Phase of the H1N1/09 pandemic.World Health Organization Definition of Pandemic:"An influenza pandemic occurs with the appearance of a new influenza virus against which none of us has any immunity. This results in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with high numbers of cases and deaths. With the increase in global transport and communications, as well as urbanization and overcrowded conditions, epidemics due to the new influenza virus are likely to be established quickly around the world."
What would be the effect if a country does not prepare before the out break of a pandemic?
A pandemic.
Do you get laryngitis or influenza with the loss of alveolar elasticity?
