The Georgia Emergency Management Agency has already launched a site where Georgians can go to learn to get ready for this type of pandemic-Ready Georgia.
Anyone in the state can visit the campaign's Web site (www.ready.ga.gov) for more information on preparing, planning and staying informed. And now is the time before it strikes Georgia, so let's not delay in helping our community prepare.
Plan for the possibility that usual services may be disrupted. These could include services provided by hospitals and other health care facilities, banks, stores, restaurants, government offices, and post offices.
Consider how to care for people with special needs in case the services they rely on are not available.
Adopt business/school practices that encourage sick employees/students to stay home and anticipate how to function with a significant portion of the workforce/school population absent due to illness or caring for ill family members.
Practice good health habits, including eating a balanced diet, exercising daily and getting sufficient rest. In addition, take common-sense steps to stop the spread of germs including frequent hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes and staying away from others as much as possible when you are sick.
