Scenario 1 involves sustained absenteeism of 25% for weeks from employees and family members falling ill. NFPA operations would be slowed but offices would remain open. Scenario 2 involves over 50% absenteeism, making it difficult to sustain NFPA operations and keep buildings open, potentially requiring NFPA to close offices and have employees work remotely. The document also discusses maintaining critical resources like employees, facilities, systems, and ensuring business continuity and communication plans are in place. It outlines policies for protecting and handling sick employees.
