In line with a leadership forum on pandemic preparedness this June 13 in Washington, DC, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched a new blog -
The Pandemic Flu Leadership Blog.
From the blog:
This five-week online event, beginning on May 22, is part of an ongoing effort by the Department to help Americans become more prepared for a pandemic. The blog summit provides an opportunity to have an open conversation and shape the thinking about how to communicate the critical need for preparedness at home and within workplaces and communities.
The blog summit is intended to be a dynamic online conversation; it is open to the public for commenting. Public comments will be moderated, but participating bloggers are able to post freely. Representatives from the Department will not blog, but will comment on blog posts.
To help facilitate the dialogue, a series of questions will be posed over the five weeks, addressing the need for all Americans to prepare for pandemic influenza, the challenges that leaders will face in communicating this need and the potential solutions for overcoming those challenges. The blog will also serve to communicate lessons learned from the Leadership Forum and to communicate what needs to be done moving forward.
I’ll cover one question per day as posted on the HHS blog.
