I first heard of these web sites today, so, I searched for them:
http://www.avianflu.gov/ and
http://www.pandemicflu.gov/
These web sites are important to read and comprehend now, in order to be fully prepared for a possible avian flu pandemic.
Thankfully, so far, there haven't been any cases of human to human transmission of the avian flu, so, there is still time to get prepared, should that possibility actually arrive. Thus far, the only cases of avian flu are occurring in birds, mammals that eat birds infected with the H5N1 flu, and humans that live in close proximity to birds that are carrying the H5N1 virus.
Get prepared and be prepared. The H5N1 bird flu could have devastating implications once human to human spread has started, and we haven't any idea when that leap from bird to bird transmission to human to human spread will occur.
We increase the chances of our survival, and the survival of our families, by becoming as informed and prepared as possible, to combat the bird flu.
These are both U.S. government web sites, and each contain the same information. I'd suggest using the recommended amounts of food and water to store as minimums. Get more if you can afford to.
