Make a Pandemic Plan and Prepare Checklists

Make a preparedness plan with you friends and family, business, school and community group. Get everyone involved. The plan should outline each person's responsibility in case of a pandemic. You should prepare checklists for each person or entity. Checklists make it easy to follow all the necessary steps to pandemic preparedness and take action in case of a pandemic.

Businesses, agencies, churches and other community groups should have their own preparedness plans. Get involved! Check out these checklists at PandemicFlu.gov.

You can also get into an Area Preppers group organized by state at the Flu Wiki site, a site maintained by users. If you can't find what you are looking for right away, try typing Area Preppers in the search box on the Flu Wiki site.
