NCSL Launches Online Resource with Latest H1N1 Updates on Emergency Plans

NCSL launches online resource with latest updates on emergency plans

Most state health officials are planning for when—not if—a swine flu outbreak occurs.

As the federal government develops a national strategy to address the H1N1 virus for the fall and winter flu seasons, the National Conference of State Legislatures has developed a comprehensive webpage with resources for states. Since states are first responders to public health emergencies, state legislators and legislative staff now have a wealth of valuable information in one location.

“These online resources will help state legislators and legislative staff stay abreast of the federal and state responses to this public health alert,” said William T. Pound, executive director of the National Conference of State Legislatures. “Because there are many unknowns, scientists are working diligently to understand this emerging virus and its potential effect on the public’s health. As more detailed information becomes available, NCSL will provide relevant updates.”
