Information on Swine Flu
Regarding the Swine Flu, there is no reason to panic. However, just to keep people aware and informed, we are posting this information from the CDC, forwarded by Community Board #1. Training from Citizens Emergency Response Team (CERT) and other agencies have shown us that the most important thing in any potential situation is communication and information. An informed community actually produces a calmer approach to tackle any obstacle. With this in mind, please share your information with those around you. And above all, don't get overly stressed. For most of us, this would be just another flu, if we do come down with the symptoms. (April 30, 2009)
