History tells us it’s “not if, but when” 3 pandemics in past 100 years, 1918 most severe H5N1 bird flu could mutate to pandemic strain Pandemic = severe, worldwide, easily spread We would have little immunity, no vaccine/meds We are the first generation that can prepare

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) H5N ’ human cases 245 human deaths 15 nations

Pandemic Phase 6 Pandemic Period Increased and sustained transmission in humans Pandemic Phase 5 Pandemic Alert Period Larger localized clusters, better adapted to humans, not highly transmissible Pandemic Phase 4 Pandemic Alert Period Human spread, small localized clusters, not adapted for rapid spread Pandemic Phase 3 Pandemic Alert Period Humans infected, no spread or low risk of spread between humans Phase 2 Interpandemic Period Still in animals, but substantial risk to humans Phase 1 Interpandemic Period Viruses circulating in animals, low risk to humans Pandemic Phases

ACTION 1: Stop Germs from Spreading…

Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Stay home when you’re sick.

ACTION 2. Stay informed …

Learn about state & local plans.

Make a personal / family plan.

ACTION 3. Stock up to Stay Home …

Stock food & supplies for up to 2 weeks.

Plan to care for the sick at home.

3 Things to KNOW Pandemic flu is a world-wide outbreak of a new flu virus. It would make lots of people sick, and cause many deaths. Experts say it WILL happen. If pandemic is severe, you might run out of food, medicine and other things you need. That’s because many of the people who make and sell them will be too sick to work. With so many people sick, there won’t be enough doctors, nurses or hospital beds. You might have to take care of yourself or loved ones at home.

3 Things to DO Make a habit of washing your hands often and well. Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve — not your hand! Stay away from others when you’re sick. This will help stop germs from spreading. Stock up on things such as canned food, bottled water, bathroom items, baby or elder-care needs, home care supplies, and batteries for radios and flashlights. In a severe pandemic, there will be shortages. Refill prescriptions ASAP. Learn about what might happen if pandemic is severe. Plan what you and your family will do if schools are closed, or you can’t go to work.
