A pandemic is a global disease outbreak that spreads easily from person to person, causes serious illness, and can sweep the world in a short period of time. Identifying when the next pandemic will occur or determining its severity is difficult. Since 2003, a growing number of avian flu cases have been reported; more than half the people who contracted this virus have died. These concerns prompted the World Health Organization to urge every company to maintain an updated pandemic preparedness plan.
