There are many publicly available resources in place to help communities, companies, and individuals plan for a possible pandemic flu outbreak. A few of the most useful sites are linked below. As new resources are identified, we will post them as well.
Pandemic
Flu Resources
Learn how to prepare for a possible pandemic flu outbreak.
Pandemicflu.gov
This is the
official U.S. Government site for information on pandemic and avian influenza.
The material on this site is organized by topic for easy reference.
Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The CDC Web site is another primary source of information on pandemic influenza.
They also have a hotline—1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636)—that is available
in English and Spanish, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (TTY: 1-888-232-6348).
Or, if you prefer, questions can be e-mailed to inquiry@cdc.gov.
Department
of Homeland Security (DHS)
DHS is working on a “Business Planning Guide,” which will be posted on the
DHS home page and on Pandemicflu.gov as soon as it is completed. Also, for
business-specific questions, the DHS has created an e-mailbox—DHSPandemic@dhs.gov.
Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)
United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
The USDA is the country’s first line of defense against the disease as it
will undoubtedly enter the borders through contaminated poultry or migratory
birds.
The resources above will provide a lot of information, but we also encourage you to:
