Pandemic Flu Resources

There are many publicly available resources in place to help communities, companies, and individuals plan for a possible pandemic flu outbreak. A few of the most useful sites are linked below:

Pandemicflu.gov
This is the official U.S. Government site for information on pandemic and avian influenza. The material on this site is organized by topic for easy reference.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The CDC Web site is another primary source of information on pandemic influenza. They also have a hotline—1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636)—that is available in English and Spanish, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (TTY: 1-888-232-6348). Or, if you prefer, questions can be e-mailed to inquiry@cdc.gov.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
DHS is working on a “Business Planning Guide,” which will be posted on the DHS home page and on Pandemicflu.gov as soon as it is completed. Also, for business-specific questions, the DHS has created an e-mailbox—DHSPandemic@dhs.gov.

BOMA Resources
BOMA/Greater Toronto Pandemic Flu Report
The report addresses the threat to commercial buildings from an avian flu pandemic.

The resources above will provide a lot of information, but we also encourage you to:

  • Listen to local and national radio
  • Watch news reports on television
  • Read your newspaper and other sources of printed and Web-based information
  • Look for information on your local and state government Web sites
  • Consider talking to your local health care providers and public health officials.
