In response to this possibility, your Property Owner’s Association appointed a Pandemic Preparedness Committee (PPC) to design and assist in the implementation of a “Disaster Plan” that would attempt to minimize the consequential extensive illness and loss of life associated with a Pandemic. The primary initiative of the PPC has been an effort to inform and educate property owners.

Avian Flu Newsletter Num. 9– November 20, 2008 |

R. Burt Prater, MD
“Avian
Flu”….the coming “Pandemic”. Remember
those terms? Seems like a bad dream that
drifts into a fog of forgetfulness with time.
It has been almost exactly a year since my last pandemic newsletter and
little has changed. Both the continuing
potential for the Avian Flu to be the villain that induces the next pandemic
and the dismal lack of personal and community preparedness. One expert on the
matter said, “The Pandemic clock is ticking, we just don’t know what time it
is”.

Big Canoe Utilities has

ability during extraordinary events.
This plan is not, in
any way, to be considered a substitute for each adult taking personal
responsibility for their self-preservation.
