H1N1, No Federal Plan for Emergencies; pandemic, terror attacks
by Al Remington | November 5, 2009
PUBLIC SAFETY Canada, the agency charged with co-ordinating the federal response to threats such as the H1N1 flu, has yet to complete its emergency plan, the auditor general says.
Two years after Parliament gave the department responsibility for emergency management leadership, the formal plan has yet to be finished and approved.
There is growing political and public anger over H1N1, as thousands flock to overwhelmed clinics for flu shots — but there’s no overall federal plan for emergencies, be they pandemics, floods, blackouts or terror attacks.
Sounds familiar. No better plan is available to U.S. clinics. In such a rush, pandemony over when and where and who gets it has broken out.
Here’s a pandemic for ya. Scare the hell out of everyone over sWine Flu pandemic and not have enough vaccines available; and what qualifies you for inoculation? and if your town ran out, what are you doing in my town taking mine? It’s a mess.
I wish people would pay more attention to what’s going on around them. So far, and it’s early in the “flu-season” for U.S., not much has happened with swine flu honenone.
