Avian Flu Action is an educational website with two aims:
To help you become informed about avian flu (also known
as "bird flu" or "avian influenza"), which can kill animals,
(especially poultry, wild birds, cats and pigs) and which might
become "pandemic influenza," which can kill people, if there
is sustained human-to-human contact.
and
To enable you to evaluate risks and help prevent or, if
necessary, face pandemic flu at home, in your job, or in your
local community.
=============================================
We each have a choice:
Prepare now or panic later.
=============================================

SPEND TIME UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND HOW TO FACE IT.

"The globe is interdependent--economically, environmentally, politically and
medically. A good example is avian flu, a virus unimpressed by economic or
military power. It doesn't discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, gender or
creed. We are all vulnerable. We should all worry that experts believe an
influenza pandemic is not only possible in the near future, but inevitable. Despite
this, we have only just begun to make serious preparations."
-Madeline K. Albright, former US Secretary of State,
writing in the Financial Times, 10 September 2007,
"Risk Management Supplement," p. 2.
