The Institute of Real Estate Management has created an online Swine Flu Resource Center accessible from its web site (www.irem.org) to help real estate management professionals and companies as well as communities cope with pandemic-related risks and minimize their impact. The Resource Center, directly accessible at http://www.irem.org/flu will be updated regularly. It currently includes:
* Links to external web sites containing information about the outbreak, frequently-asked questions, preparedness tips, and other useful data.
* Sample memorandum to employees/residents/tenants about the epidemic and what they can do to contain it.
* Excerpts from the IREM publication "Preparing for Pandemic Flu: A Real Estate Manager's Guide to Protecting People, Property" - including a chart comparing seasonal flu to pandemic flu.
* Interactive discussion forum inviting real estate management professionals to share specifics of what they are doing to protect their tenants and buildings against a possible outbreak of swine flu.
