It will also aid emergency planners in the development of shelter plans for those residents with Special Needs. Who should register? You (or someone on your behalf) should register if you may find it difficult to get to safety with Family or Friends or to a public shelter during an emergency evacuation, because of a physical or cognitive limitation, language barrier, or lack of transportation.

Since it is caused by influenza viruses that are similar to those already circulating, vaccines are an effective method of prevention. Health experts are worried that a new influenza virus that people have not been exposed to before could cause a pandemic, or worldwide, outbreak. This form of flu is likely to be more severe, affect more people, and cause more deaths than seasonal influenza because people will not have immunity to the new virus and flu shots will not be able to offer protection. Preparing ahead of time will help bring the peace of mind and confidence to deal with a pandemic, and possibly lessen its effects. These checklists will help you gather the information and resources you may need in case of a flu pandemic. “Get Flu Ready New Jersey” Pandemic Flu Planning Checklist for Individuals and Families Family Emergency Health Information Sheet Emergency Contacts Form Avian Flu Questions and Answers about Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) Bird flu in the movies On Tuesday, May 9, 2006, the ABC television network aired a made-for-TV movie titled "Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America."
