How YOU can prepare for an Avian Flu Pandemic

 

 

"It is only a matter of time before an avian flu virus - most likely H5N1 - acquires the ability to be transmitted from human to human, sparking the the outbreak of human pandemic influenza. We don't know when this will happen. But we do know that it will happen."

- Lee Jong-Wook, previous director-general of the World Health Organization, 2006

 

 

If the bird flu did become a worldwide pandemic, up to thirty percent of the world's population could fall ill to the flu. If that horrific situation did arise (and there's a solid chance that it will), then we would have to prepare ourselves to survive this pandemic.

To prepare for a pandemic, you can:

*Store amounts of portable food and water in preferably a basement or other storage area - this is important if stores are closed or if they are out of stock - a very common condition during things like pandemics.

*Have supplies of common drugs such as Tylenol - pain relievers, fever reducers, cold remedies, stomach medicine

*Having a supply of Tamiflu would be helpful in case someone in the house showed symptoms of the bird flu virus - flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, headache, body aches in the throat and joints, nasal congestion) and severe respiratory problems

*Get with the local community to help set up a plan for an emergency
