Birdflu Mailing List: Emergency Preparedness & the Medical Reserve Corps

[William Weir (weirwilliam]

Let's get better prepared for bird flu (bird-to-human) and pandemic flu 
(human-to-human).

If you are (or ever were) a health professional/paraprofessional, please 
consider signing up for your local Medical Reserve Corps.  (If you are not, 
consider forwarding this to someone who is.)

If you live in Hennepin County, MN, including Minneapolis, please go to 
http://www.mrc-hennepin.org/<http://www.mrc-hennepin.org/> to sign up.

If in Hennepin County and available for free training this Saturday morning, 
June 3, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., please call Allen Bryant at the MRC-Henn office: 
952-361-5234 ASAP.  The next training dates are September 16 and November 4. 

On completing the forms, photo, training, etc. you will soon receive an 
MRC-Henn ID badge identifying you as a member.

In addition, for everyone interested, the Medical Reserve Corps offers links to
