If you work in a dairy farm, with poultry, or other farm animals, and an animal has avian influenza, you could be at risk of getting both avian flu and seasonal flu at the same time. Getting your seasonal flu vaccine is one of the best ways to protect your health and reduce risks.

Si trabajas en una lechería, con aves de corral u otros animales de granja, y un animal tiene gripe aviar, podrías estar en riesgo de enfermarte de gripe aviar y gripe estacional al mismo tiempo. Vacunarte contra la gripe estacional es una de las mejores formas de proteger tu salud y reducir riesgos. Consulta con tu proveedor de salud para recibir tu vacuna este año.

Your pets are like family, so it’s important you have a disaster plan for them. This includes knowing a safe place you can take them when disaster strikes, having your pet microchipped with up-to-date contact information and making a kit that includes items like food, water, leashes and any medication they take.

Knowing where you can go before something happens can save time and keep your family safe. Sometimes it’s best to stay home, but going to a different place may be the best way to stay safe. This could be a friend or relative’s house, or a community shelter in your neighborhood. Pay attention to directions from your local police, fire department or elected officials if you are told to evacuate.

In times of crisis, whether it's a natural disaster, power outage, or severe weather. Emergency management starts with community. While stocking up on essentials and having a plan is important, checking in on your neighbors can make all the difference.

Do they have power?
Do they need food, water, or medication?
Are they safe and informed about what’s happening?

Remember: Some neighbors, especially the elderly, disabled, or those living alone, may need extra support. A quick call or knock on the door could truly be life-saving.
