How will I know if pandemic flu has reached the U.S. or Nebraska?
The World Health Organization has an international system in place for tracking the emergence of a new pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, and the Nebraska Health & Human Services System will also be monitoring the situation. If it looks like a pandemic is going to reach the U.S., the government will issue warnings and work with the media to advise people on the best course of action. If it looks likely a pandemic will reach Nebraska, health officials will use the media and this Website to advise people on what they should do.
