Preparing for a Pandemic Flu: What First Responders Need to Know

vital role in outbreak response. It is crucial that rank and file fire fighters
learn basic information about the pandemic flu to protect themselves, their
families, their coworkers and their community.
This program provides hands-on activities and discussion
questions to teach first responders to prepare for a major emergency, such as a
pandemic flu outbreak or environmental disaster.
