If you can’t attend today’s forum and haven’t been able to attend one of the others, video of the presentations are archived and available on the Web at www.unmc.edu/avianflu. A 16-week Household Stockpiling Tool — which can help in home preparations for a pandemic — will be available at the forum and on the Web site.
In addition to being online for viewing, you may order a free DVD copy of the presentation by Sharon Medcalf of the Center for Biopreparedness Education for use by your department or unit. Please e-mail Bill O’Neill in public affairs to order DVDs.
More avian flu forums are being planned for December. Watch UNMC Today for more details.
Today’s presentation will include information about what avian flu is, how it spreads, the difference between avian and pandemic flu, how Americans could be affected, the status of the disease around the world, and steps you and your family can take to be prepared at home. Light refreshments will be served.
