I'm always on the lookout for good informational material for the general public on pandemic awareness and preparation. The HHS is working on `community toolkits' that will be distributed later this summer and fall, but right now, we have a free `toolkit' that I can recommend to everyone.
Influenza Pandemic Preparation and Response: A Citizen's Guide
is a pdf file you can download from the Internet with clear, concise information for everyone on how to prepare for a pandemic. It has been issued under the creative commons distribution license, which means you can freely distribute it (with attribution).
This guide contains a forward by Dr David L. Heymann of the WHO, and contains a good deal of basic flu care information, courtesy of Dr. Grattan Woodson. It runs about 60 pages.
This is something you will want for your own reference, but more importantly, makes a great introduction to those unfamiliar with pandemic flu issues.
Get it. Make copies. And give it to everyone you know.
