Pandemic awareness

PFAW bannerThis week is Pandemic Flu Awareness Week, and Medley has links to all the resources for becoming better informed about and better prepared for the health risks and general potential fallout of a virulent flu virus arriving at our shores. Also see her earlier (and presumably subsequent) posts about preparation steps she's considering for other regional disasters. A good spur to the complacent...

Update: it looks like the first human-to-human transmissions of the bird flu are occurring, which puts us mighty close to the conditions for an epidemic. eep!
