H1N1 Preparedness Guide for Community & Faith-Based Organizations

The Department of Health and Human Services Center for Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships has announced a new resource for community and faith-based organizations:

H1N1 Flu: A Guide for Community & Faith-based Organizations.

Community and faith-based organizations are essential partners in comprehensive state and local flu response, and this guide was created to support them this flu season. The guide provides specific action steps that community and faith-based organizations can take to help keep communities healthy during flu season, including:

Communicating important information about flu
Supporting vaccination efforts
Linking vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations to vital information and resources

Visit http://flu.gov/professional/community/ to download the guide. You can also visit the Johnson County Partners in Preparedness page to watch videos on what some local organizations are doing to be prepared for emergencies and disasters.
