Excercise: H1N1 mutates, you have 4 weeks to prepare :

[sbrooks]

If we have a severe outbreak in Oct what will you be buying or stockpiling in advance? I'm assuming water and electric will continue though school and businesses may be interrupted..is Cash, Gatorade and vitamin D a good idea?
Obviously food, advil etc. Ideas welcome

<hr style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> FluTrackers Members have collated information from a variety of sources to develop a printable, personal preparation list.

By reading further, you acknowledge that you are responsible to decide your own potential needs, and those of your family and loved ones.

The following items should sustain one adult for approximately one month. The foods chosen require minimal time and resources to prepare, and represent common and familiar food choices for many. You should customize the list to your personal preferences and needs.

Remember to multiply the amounts of each item on the list by the number of adults you are preparing for.
