2009 Flu Summit

 

# 3454

 

Tomorrow the HHS, CDC, Homeland Security, and other officials will hold a special day-long pandemic influenza summit in Washington D.C.

 

The two plenary sessions will be web casted via www.flu.gov from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and then again from 2:45 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

 

I’ll remind my readers again tomorrow morning, but this should be an important event, and one I’m sure most of you will want to watch.

 

For those unable to watch, you can follow on Twitter by following hash tag #09fs – per @FluGov on Twitter.

Federal, state and local officials, emergency managers, educators and others will discuss lessons learned during the spring and summer H1N1 wave, and discuss best practices and preparedness priorities.
