Health officials continue to monitor the situation closely and will implement infection control measures as appropriate to the level of risk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As with any possible emergency, having a contingency plan is essential,&#8221; says Allen County Health Commissioner, Dr. Deborah McMahan. &#8220;Now is really the time to make sure that as a family or as an employer, you are prepared.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While we may not be able to prevent an outbreak of influenza, we can certainly minimize the negative impact it could have on our community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Business plans should address continuity of operations, sick leave policies and other human resource issues that might arise from reductions in staff if people are unable to work due to businesses or schools being closed.<\/p>\n<p>Companies that provide critical infrastructure services, such as power and telecommunications, need to be in continued operation in a crisis and should plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Families should also have a plan for how to deal with child care issues should schools close as well as the possible reduction or loss of income if a person is unable to work. Those plans should also include keeping adequate supplies of emergency food, water and medicines at home.<\/p>\n<p>Retail pharmacies in the area are ready to educate consumers about preparedness and to assist them in putting together a family flu kit, says Mike Sievers with the Northeast Indiana Pharmacy Emergency Planning Group.<\/p>\n<p>A copy of the department&#8217;s pandemic flu preparedness guide for families is available in several languages at www.fightheflu.org and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencountyhealth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.allencountyhealth.com<\/a>.
