How would a flu pandemic affect your family?

 

Experts believe a worldwide outbreak, or pandemic, of influenza will happen someday. Families need to be prepared for pandemic flu just as they would for any other emergency.

 

Begin by understanding the needs of your family in an emergency situation. Do you need to make alternate arrangements for young children should school or daycares be temporarily closed? Do you have small children that need to be entertained should electricity shut down? Does anyone in your family have a caregiver or special needs?
