As real estate management professionals, what are you doing to help prepare and protect your tenants and buildings against a possible outbreak of swine flu? Please share your questions, comments and concerns.

As a precaution, a memorandum was sent all employees by the President of our organization alterting all employees of the seriousness of Swine Flu. The memo included a link to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a statement advising that if you are sick - stay home to protect fellow employees and their families.

As a risk management tool, I have subscribed to receive email updates from the CDC for many years and have found the CDC t to be a source of reliable information. I learned about the Swine Flu early on from the CDC when the first case broke out and have continued to monitor. The link to the CDC is www.cdc.com.

I contacted our local public health department and used their web site as a resource.
