News of the swine flu outbreaks across the country and world are spreading, no pun intended. And clearly this is important news because of the potential risks to everyone. Even Google Maps has created a mashup of swine flu outbreaks.

But I'm not a medical professional (nor do I pretend to play on the Internet) so I'm not going to weigh in on its importance. So what I'm curious to find out is if your company is communicating swine flu news, tips or advice to employees?
The question of whether or not it's a company's responsibility was recently raised on Twitter. I'm on the side that thinks it is a company's duty to pass along news because it acknowledges what's on employee's minds and further developments could possibly impact business continuity. It may not quite reach the level of crisis communication but we really don't know where it's going at this point.
And since this is global news, do you have a global communication tool you can use for employee communication? For example, one of our customers was able to report globally that all of their employees were accounted for after the earthquake in Italy thanks to their digital signage network.
Does your company have this ability?
