"The key part to all of this is individual preparedness. The towns can be ready and the county can be ready, but to stop the spread, the key is
individual preparedness," said Sagadahoc County Emergency Management Agency Director Misty Green. Sagadahoc County is delivering their booklets
door-to-door. Missouri's guide for pandemic preparedness is online.
Sagadahoc prescribes door-to-door
pandemic primer
The Sagadahoc County Emergency Management Agency has coordinated an effort to go door-to-door throughout the county that day to provide residents with
pocket guides about preparing for a pandemic flu that some scientists consider to be not a matter of "if," but "when."
The individual preparedness detailed in the agency's guide ranges from everyday measures such as washing hands frequently with soap and water to more
long-term plans, like compiling an emergency kit with 30 days' worth of food, water, medicines and disinfectants.
"The key part to all of this is individual preparedness," said Green. "The towns can be ready and the county can be ready, but to stop the spread,
the key is individual preparedness."

There is much info on the Net about pandemic planning, and a dedicated survivalist forum here at ATS.
Please note: pandemic preparing and survival is somewhat different than survivalism in other circumstances.
