Pandemic Checklist

Pandemic Flu Planning Checklist for Individuals and Families

You can prepare for an influenza pandemic now. You should know both the magnitude of what can happen during a pandemic outbreak and what actions you can take to help lessen the impact of an influenza pandemic on you and your family. This checklist will help you gather the information and resources you may need in case of a flu pandemic.

To plan for a pandemic:

q Store a supply of water and food. During a pandemic, if you cannot get to a store, or if stores are out of supplies, it will be important for you to have extra supplies on hand. This can be useful in other types of emergencies, such as power outages and disasters.

q Ask your doctor and insurance company if you can get an extra supply of your regular prescription drugs.

q Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.

q Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.

q Volunteer with local groups to prepare and assist with emergency response.

q Get involved in your community as it works to prepare for an influenza pandemic.

To limit the spread of germs and prevent infection:

q Teach your children to wash hands frequently with soap and water, and model the correct behavior.

q Teach your children to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues, and be sure to model that behavior.

q Teach your children to stay away from others as much as possible if they are sick. Stay home from work and school if sick.

Items to have on hand for an extended stay at home:

Examples of food and non-perishables	Examples of medical, health, and emergency supplies
q Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables, and soups	q Prescribed medical supplies such as glucose and blood-pressure monitoring equipment
q Protein or fruit bars	q Soap and water, or alcohol-based hand wash
q Dry cereal or granola	q Medicines for fever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen
q Peanut butter or nuts	q Thermometer
q Dried fruit	q Anti-diarrheal medication
q Crackers	q Vitamins
q Canned juices	q Fluids with electrolytes
q Bottled water	q Cleansing agent/soap
q Canned or jarred baby food and formula	q Flashlight
q Pet food	q Batteries
q	q Portable radio
q	q Manual can opener

Instructions for Shelter-in-Place (Safe Room)

1.	Choose an area that can be sealed, a room with one door & only one window, no patio doors! A 3300 cubic foot space will be suitable for one person for about 21 hours. A basement should not be the first choice because some toxic chemicals are heavier than air. A room with an attached bathroom is a good idea.
2.	Complete calculation sheet to determine length of time you can shelter-in-place. Then consider using a carbon dioxide absorbent to extend the usable time and a dessicant to make you feel more comfortable.
3.	Stock with water & food to last for that length of time. Remember to store foods that do not need water to cook. A microwave oven will help you heat food. Remember to stock favorites of special-needs family members, such as, the elderly, sick, children, and babies.
4.	Stock Safe Room with Tyvek coveralls, gas mask, and Class I medical goves. You will want to leave your Safe Room periodically, so be prepared to wear protective clothing.
5.	Keep a cell phone with you. Also, keep battery-operated tv & radio in case the electricity fails. The authorities will notify you when it is safe to leave your Safe Room.
6.	Use vapor-safe metallic sealing tape to attach metalized mylar over window and door. Use cut-off pieces of the metallized mylar to cover vents if you do not have ultraviolet "C" installed in your ventilation system. UV-C will keep you safe from infectious diseases, even bioterrorism agents.
7.	Spray tape with Modec Decontamination Foam to destroy leaking toxins. Always wear gloves and eye protection when spraying decontamination foam.

Generally accepted physiological effects of CO₂ at various concentrations by volume.

Concentration	Comments
0.03%	Nothing happens as this is the normal carbon dioxide concentration in air.
0.5%	Lung ventilation increases by 5 percent. This is the maximum safe working level recommended for an 8 hour working day in industry (Australian Standard).
1.0%	Symptoms may begin to occur, such as feeling hot and clammy, lack of attention to details, fatigue, anxiety, clumsiness and loss of energy, which is commonly first noticed as a weakness in the knees (jelly legs).
2.0%	Lung ventilation increases by 50 percent, headache after several hours exposure. Accumulation of carbon dioxide in the body after prolonged breathing of air containing around 2% or greater will disturb body function by causing the tissue fluids to become too acidic. This will result in loss of energy and feeling run-down even after leaving the cave. It may take the person up to several days in a good environment for the body metabolism to return to normal.
3.0%	Lung ventilation increases by 100 percent, panting after exertion, Symptoms may include:- headaches, dizziness and possible vision disturbance such as speckled stars.
5 - 10%	Violent panting and fatigue to the point of exhaustion merely from respiration & severe headache. Prolonged exposure at 5% could result in irreversible effects to health. Prolonged exposure at > 6% could result in unconsciousness and death.
10 - 15%	Intolerable panting, severe headaches and rapid exhaustion. Exposure for a few minutes will result in unconsciousness and suffocation without warning.
25% to 30%	Extremely high concentrations will cause coma and convulsions within one minute of exposure. Certain Death.

News for Missouri’s Gardens, Yards and Resources August 2003

Keep Watering Those Woodies
In previous articles, I have stressed the importance of careful watering of recently planted trees and shrubs during July and August. Until a new plant is able to establish roots in the soil surrounding the original soil ball, it is critical to keep the soil ball moist. It generally requires frequent light applications of irrigation water to achieve this without drowning the plant in a clay soil bathtub. Regular irrigations in which a known quantity of water slowly drips into the root ball of a new tree or shrub is generally the safest and most effective approach for getting the plant through the first summer.

Although well-established landscape plants usually require little or no irrigation to keep them alive through our brutal summers, timely and intelligent irrigation can do wonders to reduce stress. It is important to keep in mind that roots of trees and shrubs proliferate where there is ample soil moisture, and they can move water some distance, back to the mother plant. Anyone who has made a flower bed near a tree knows that the soil in such a bed is soon filled with tree roots proliferating to harvest moisture and minerals meant for the flowers. It is often difficult to water the flowers near a tree often enough to keep them from wilting because tree roots compete strongly with the flowers for moisture. Caretakers of woody plants can take advantage of this opportunistic root growth to reduce drought stress using a relatively modest amount of irrigation water.

Anyone attempting to irrigate enough to supplement rainfall in July and August to total 1 inch per week over his or her entire property may have a very high water bill. Given that it takes 0.62 gallons of water per square foot to apply one inch of water, an entire 10,000 square foot property would require about 6200 gallons for each one-inch application. Over the course of July and August, we may have 6 inches less rainfall than the amount of moisture lost to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration. If so, to make up the deficit completely over the entire 10,000 square feet would require over 37,000 gallons of water. Needless to say, very few of us have the time and money required to irrigate an entire 10,000 square foot property with this quantity of water. Luckily, our trees, shrubs and turf can get by with considerably less water than this and remain in good condition. Furthermore, once established, most trees and shrubs can function well with only a small part of their total root volume remaining moist through drought conditions.

Let your plants be your guide regarding when they need help getting through a drought. Cool, breezy, low-humidity weather that feels pleasant to people may be quite stressful to plants if soil moisture reserves are low. Often, leaves on even well established trees and shrubs wilt and droop during such conditions. If wilting persists for more than a few days, some plants begin shedding older leaves to reduce leaf surface area. While this is a normal drought survival mechanism, it reduces photosynthetic potential and, consequently, the amount of carbohydrates available to the plant. Judicious watering can often prevent significant wilting and leaf drop, thereby helping the plant stay more vigorous. Usually two or three irrigations during an extended drought will greatly reduce drought stress and keep established plants in good condition.

Methods for watering established trees and shrubs are quite different from those previously suggested for new plants. The objective for mature plants should be to saturate at least 20% of the root zone of the plant at least a foot deep. Start by estimating the square footage of soil surface that is shaded by the plant with the sun directly overhead. Since the root zone of a typical woody plant goes well beyond the shade pattern (sometimes called the drip line), half of this area might be considered 20% of the entire root zone. Apply enough water to that area to provide about 3 inches of precipitation. For example, if a tree shades a circle with a diameter of 20 feet, the area of this circle (A = p r2) is 3.14 x 102 or 314 square feet. To apply 3 inches of water to this area would require 314 x 0.62 = 194 gallons. However, since the objective is to wet half of the shaded area, 100 gallons would do the trick.

The delivery method for mature plant drought stress reduction irrigation does not need to be terribly sophisticated. The key is to apply the desired amount of water to the designated area at a rate that does not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil. Given that a 5/8 inch garden hose with 40 psi water pressure delivers about 6 gallons per minute, it would theoretically take only 16 minutes to apply 100 gallons. However, most clay loam soils can only absorb 0.2 to 0.5 inches of precipitation per hour. "Soaker" hoses that ooze water from pores over the entire length are effective for this type of irrigation. A 50-foot soaker hose laid out to cover the area uniformly works well. To improve delivery uniformity of the soaker hose, attach a "Y" adapter to the end of the garden hose and make a "gender bender" consisting of a short piece of hose with female hose fittings at both ends. Connect the male end of the soaker hose to the "Y" adapter with your gender bender.

Regardless of the method used, it important to keep track of the amount of water applied. If an impact sprinkler is used, set out a rain gauge. For soaker hoses, coil the hose in a tub or children’s wading pool and collect the water that is put out over a 5-minute period. Measure the water and divide by 5 to determine the approximate delivery rate per minute. Then set the hose out and water until runoff is noted and estimate the volume of water applied. It may be necessary to irrigate for several short periods over a series of days to apply the desired amount of water without significant runoff. An automatic timer is a good investment for busy or forgetful waterers. When irrigation is complete, poke a metal rod into the ground to see how deep the soil is wet. The rod will stop when it hits dry soil (assuming that a rock does not stop it first).

Animals' ills harbinger for humans?

By Jennifer Harper

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

August 16, 2005

Like canaries in a coal mine, sick animals -- cats, crows and most everything in between -- could be early-warning sentinels of bioterrorism attacks, disease and other human health hazards, according to the Yale School of Medicine.

Researchers announced yesterday that they have created a massive "Canary Database" of animal-disease reports to provide a practical link, they say, between animal and human health.

"This concept of 'canary in a coal mine' suggest that animals may be useful sentinels for human environmental health hazards," said Dr. Peter Rabinowitz, the project director.

His basic premise is that animals keel over to environmental hazards before their human counterparts -- a fact that could be exploited for the public good.

"We have to apply the principles of evidence-based medicine to a whole new field: the interface of animal and human health," Dr. Rabinowitz noted.

Of course, this is not a novel concept. For centuries, miners toted caged canaries into the earth with them, according to the Bureau of Mines. If the birds stopped warbling or dropped from their perches, it meant carbon monoxide or another toxic gas was present, and it was time to run for one's life.

It was brutal -- but it worked.

More recently, cats in Japan garnered considerable public attention after developing an alarming syndrome called "dancing cat fever" in Japan after eating fish contaminated with mercury.

There is also continued hubbub in the news and among advocacy groups whenever a deformed frog is found in polluted rivers, a chicken expires from avian flu or yet another crow drops from the sky with West Nile fever.

Despite such frequent reports, Dr. Rabinowitz thinks the public-health community can't make practical use of what's out there.

"The potential for animal data to provide important evidence regarding environmental risks to human health seems obvious," he writes in his analysis.

Tapping into "animal-sentinel literature," however, is another thing. Some of it is obscure, plus there's not much communication between veterinarians and "human health professionals," he said.

Until now. Enter Dr. Rabinowitz's initial panacea for the problem -- "The Canary Database of Animals as Sentinels of Human Environmental Hazards," which combines resources at Yale and the National Wildlife Health Center, an agency within the U.S. Geological Survey.

Now up and running and accessible through the Internet, the unprecedented collection contains 1,236 studies conducted from 1966 to 2002, culled from millions of references for their relevance to human health.

Pets, livestock and wildlife were all part of the mix, including pigs with hepatitis, fish with lowered testosterone and a dog with cancer because of its owner's use of herbicide. Could the base prove a plausible resource for the Department of Homeland Security as well? Perhaps.

Dr. Rabinowitz noted that "non-human animals could be more sensitive to many of the agents that are potential biological or chemical weapons" and could therefore be the "sentinels for a terrorist attack."

U.S. pump project may be linked to quake

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- A federal facility that pumps salty water 14,000 feet into the Earth's crust probably is associated with a magnitude 3.9 earthquake that struck the Utah-Colorado border this month, an official said.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation facility removes salt from the Dolores River, then pumps 230 gallons of brine per minute into deep wells in Utah's Paradox Valley Area.

The process is intended to decrease the salt content of the Colorado River downstream, but scientists say it also lubricates faults.

The facility has caused thousands of earthquakes in the area since 1991, but most have been too small for people to feel. The 3.9 quake, which struck Nov. 6, was felt in Grand Junction, some 60 miles away. No damage was reported.

"We have a seismic network set up for measuring and recording any events associated with the injection process, and it appears this earthquake was one probably associated with that process," said Andy Nichols, manager of the federal facility. "Every once in a while there's a large event felt at the surface, and this was one of those events."

The last large earthquake occurred in May 2000 and registered 4.3.

That event, combined with two significant tremors in 1999, led government officials to reduce the amount of brine injected by a third.
