Continuity of operations planning for the North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL) requires preparing for the full range of threats facing the state and NCDOL employees and their families. The department has ample experience in planning and responding to significant events including chemical disasters, adverse weather and equipment failure. In the event of a pandemic, planning by NCDOL leaders will be critical to protecting employees' health and ensuring the continued delivery of essential services to the citizens of North Carolina.
As of this point, NCDOL has addressed this threat in a memorandum (Ebola Procedures, October 30, 2014). It is a brief overview of response to Ebola exposure by referring concerned people to information on both the NCDOL and Federal websites as well as the Ebola Public Information Hot Line.
