Influenza Pandemic Preparedness

Here's a peek at the federal government's actions with respect to bird flu preparedness: Federal Banking Agency Guidance re Influenza Preparedness.

The general federal government website, referenced in the bank agency guidance, is http://www.pandemicflu.gov/.

See also World Health Organization (WHO) website and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website.

Also, check out the very interesting FluWiki:

About FluWiki: A wiki is a type of online collaboration that allows anyone (including you) to edit any page on a website. The open nature of the wiki format allows diverse, decentralized participation, and has shown itself able to develop surprisingly effective and sophisticated products, such as the Wikipedia.

The purpose of the FluWiki is to help local communities prepare for and perhaps cope with a possible influenza pandemic. This is a task previously ceded to local, state and national governmental public health agencies. FluWiki's goal is to be a reliable source of information, as neutral as possible, about important facts useful for a public health approach to pandemic influenza; a venue for anticipating the vast range of problems that may arise if a pandemic does occur; and a venue for thinking about implementable solutions to foreseeable problems.
