The Personal Pandemic Preparedness Plan
is a pretty good summary of the steps one should take to get ready for
a serious pandemic event. It should be underlined that the scenario
Shaman describes in this piece is among the worst-case likely
scenarios, and not the only possible outcome of Avian Flu jumping fully
to humans. Still, the steps described are useful even in a lesser
epidemic; moreover, most of the preparation encouraged by this plan
would serve well for many kinds of disasters,
from earthquakes to massive storms -- any situation where you may be
stuck at home for days or even a couple of weeks without any outside
assistance.
