2009 Swine Flu Pandemic 
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
As most of you are aware, the swine flu is now a pandemic, meaning a world-wide, quickly spreading outbreak. While we all must take precautions to avoid contracting the flu, we must not panic. To put this into perspective, the normal seasonal flu is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. The best prevention activities are to wash your hands frequently and cover your mouth when you cough. In the event that an outbreak occurs in your area, face masks are recommend in crowded public areas.
The official government website providing updates and helpful information is http://www.pandemicflu.gov.
Bob Hilde, the ACS/DR Coordinator for the MN Conference, and Debra-Davis Moody, the ACS/DR Coordinator for MAMDRT (Metro Adventist Disaster Response Team), will be in continuous contact with the MN Homeland Security division to coordinate a response effort in the event we are called to help.
Updates regarding our Adventist Community Services/Disaster Response efforts in Minnesota will be provided at www.MnCommunityServices.org.
