UPDATE! May, 2009 - Council 222 contacted local Presidents, sending them a questionnaire regarding situations that may arise with the Swine Flu Pandemic. We also posted information on our homepage, notifying employees that Supplements 99 and 92 also come into effect with a pandemic. Here is HUD Pandemic Planning and Response Guide (loaded to HUD@work May, 2009).

March 2006 - Office of Security and Emergency Planning published the U.S. Dept of HUD Departmental Strategy for Pandemic Influenze: Protecting Personnel and Ensuring Continuity of Operations. The doc outlined a strategy for maintaining HUD's essential functions during a pandemic and implementing policies to reduce the effects of a pandemic on the workforce. This takes the next step by developing a concrete implementation plan to prepare for, and respond to, a human pandemic. See 2006 for previous pandemic bargaining.
