Consider a visit to Flu Wiki, and if you have a blog, consider posting a bird flu story.

This is Pandemic Flu Awareness Week.

The purpose of Pandemic Flu Awareness Week, and the Flu Wiki, is to allow the dissemination of information down to the local level so that everyone can use each others’ experience, planning and ideas so as not to be left unawares should an actual pandemic occur.

Planning can only help, even if at the local level it can’t prevent.

Blogs, media and other sources of information who choose to participate can use Flu Wiki and its list of Links and Other Sources such as:
