CMLT-18_English: Outbreak of a serious infectious disease [pandemic]
An epidemic or pandemic outbreak is the invisible enemy, presenting both physical and psychological risks to individuals (especially those more vulnerable to infection or the consequences of the disease), as well as groups, locations and operations. The effects can be far reaching, interrupting supply chains, critical services, movement, and the ability to operate. External stakeholders critical to the organization may also be impacted, further disrupting critical activities.
