TIME TO STAY INFORMED, NOT TO PANIC –
An important message about the swine flu from Dr. Damsker,
Bucks County Health Department director:

By now, we have all heard about the current H1N1 swine flu outbreak.  The Bucks County Health Department is working hard to keep our county as safe and informed as possible.  We are in contact on a daily basis with State and Federal officials, neighboring county health departments, as well as with our school systems, municipal emergency management coordinators, hospitals and physicians across Bucks County.  We are also collaborating with the offices of Public Information and Emergency Management to ensure that Bucks Countians remain as informed as possible.

Please check the Center for Disease Control’s Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/, as this is the most current source of primary information on the worldwide outbreak.  To receive updates to your cell phone, PDA and e-mail on this or other emergencies, we encourage you, your friends and family to register with ReadyNotifyPA.

Keep in mind as well, that this is the right time to get Ready. Visit www.ready.gov for helpful tips on how to assemble an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan and stay informed.

David C. Damsker, MD, MPH
Director
Bucks County Health Department
