Pandemic Flu Information

With the possibility of a pandemic flu occuring, we want to make sure that you and your family are prepared for it.  Below is some information on Pandemic and Avian Flu.

Pandemic Flu

If a Pandemic Flu was to occur, you would need to be ready to act.  You should be prepared and have the right supplies for you and your family such as a supply of water, food and non-prescription drugs.  To help limit the spread of infection you need to remember to wash your hand frequently, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and to limit your interaction with a person who is feeling sick. 
 
For complete information, please visit the link below to get more information including planning checklists for you and your family.

Pandemic Flu Information

Bird Flu

We have been hearing a lot about the Avian or Bird Flu throughout the world recently.  At this point, the disease cannot spread from person to person.  It is completely safe to eat poultry products as long as they are throughly cooked.  Cooked poultry will destroy the H5N1 virus which causes the flu.
