Panflu Materials Developed

The Division of Public Health has developed materials to help you and those you serve understand pandemic flu. The materials, which were developed using federal grant dollars earmarked for this purpose, will soon be available.

Materials include:

• A general information brochure (in English and Spanish)
• A poster (in English and Spanish)
• A checklist for individuals/families
• A checklist for businesses
• A checklist for faith and community-based organizations
• A primer on pandemic flu
• A handout on developing home emergency and first aid kits

“We realize that divisions across the department are interested in this subject and in conveying information to their clients about pandemic flu,” said Public Affairs Director Debbie Crane, who led the development of the materials. “But we have to make sure the materials are consistent and that the Division of Public Health has approved all messages on this issue.”

A limited number of brochures and other materials will be available for DHHS divisions. Divisions can also personalize the brochure for their clients. “Although most of the wording of the brochure can’t be changed so the message stays consistent, the back panel can be personalized to include items like a division’s phone number or web site,” Crane added. “If you are interested in getting copies of the materials or personalizing the brochures, please give me a call.” Crane can be reached at (919) 733-9190.
