The imminent threat of an avian flu pandemic saturates the media. Most medical experts and top government officials agree that it is not a matter of if, but when the health crisis will occur. Verona Fonte's critical book, Bird Flu What to Do, responds to the current climate of fear surrounding the bird flu with a radically different approach. Dr. Fonte's underlying premise is that disaster planning is the most pragmatic, socially responsible thing we can do. Through relevant information and practical actions, individuals and neighborhoods are encouraged to empower themselves to prepare to survive in the event of any natural disaster-- with information particularly important for an avian pandemic. After experiencing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the tsunami in Thailand in 2004, the American public and international community eagerly await the tools and assurance that this well-written, accessible, and comprehensive book provides.
