Here is my question that I would love people to answer.
I am the Homeland Security / EMA for my County. We are in the process of putting together an inventory to purchase in case of a Pandemic Flu.
My question is simple, but first a few facts. My County doesn't have very much money to spend, but we need to keep the County government running (the Cities are in charge of their own supplies). Each of the First Responder Departments, including Public Health, in the County and Cities have their own surplus.
Each of the following departments I need to buy supplies for in case of a Pandemic Flu:
Road and Bridge
Treasurers Office
County Clerk Office
Assessors Office
Homeland Security Office
Clerk of Court Office
Variety of Judges and their Office Workers, and
Custodians.
My question is what do you think I should buy with a limited budget?
Also will earloop masks be sufficient along with safety glasses, non-latex gloves, and anti-viral sprays/wipes?
I know some of the answers will say it depends on how the bird flu mutates, but I have to make a few decisions within the next month.
ALSO... our computer system if an ASA400 which means they will not be able to work from home. .... and those who can't work from home, we are looking to put them to work in other areas of administrative/clerical response.
I appreciate reading your answers or emailing me at washemd@rtconnect.net.
Many thanks.
