Q. Is your e-Book really different from all the other resources on the internet about pandemic influenza?
A. Yes! "Pandemic Flu Home Care" includes unique information that other resources do not- including how to set up a sick room, taking care of the sick child or adult when health care is not available, working with neighbors, family and friends to establish support networks called "communities of care" and coping with stress. The book is based on the latest clinical practice guidelines and the most recent research. It was written by health professionals and reviewed by leaders in health care as well as consumers. It is a practical resource.

Q. Why do I need the information from Pandemic Home Care?
A. A report prepared for the Agency for Health Research Quality states:
“If or when a disaster occurs, communities must be prepared for the possibility that the arrival of government assistance may be delayed. Indeed, potentially significant interruptions in the deployment of medical assistance may occur in certain kinds of events (e.g., pandemic influenza) or in situations in which several events occur simultaneously.” (
