“Pandemic Flu Preparedness;
What Every Community Should Know”
Friday 13 April 2007; 1300-1400 ET
CE Credits
a. Sponsors: This program is sponsored for
Military and Federal GETN subscribers by the Centers For Disease Control, the

Defense Medical Interagency Satellite Training Program (MIST) with the technical
support of the Satellite Education Network (SEN) at Ft. Lee, VA.
b. Availability: This program will be available to military and federal GETN/MIST sites that have GETN/ATN/Warrior digital satellite downlinks. A listing of potential GETN receive sites can be seen here: GETN Site Location.
MIST affiliate satellite networks such as the VA’s Employee Education System and the Department of Justice Television Network may also carry this program but IAW with their own scheduling.
There is No C/Ku Band analog satellite for this pre-recorded program.
Videoconferencing may be available to selected military and federal VTC sites using the USA TNET or the USN CNET networks and other VTC networks able to connect to this satellite feed. Site coordinators using VTC are responsible for their own bridge coordination.
Will this program be Webcast? Yes, in confirmation message.
c. Target Audience Statement: The target audience will be Surgeon Generals, military and federal medical personnel, hospitals, and units, and public health leaders and professionals from local and state government agencies, hospitals, clinics, boards of health, community-based health organizations, academic institutions, federal agencies, and others at the federal, state, and local levels who seek to learn more about the topic.
d. Program Summary: The impact of pandemic influenza will be felt in every community by every citizen. Hospitals will be overwhelmed and pharmaceutical interventions will be in short supply. Critical infrastructure such as transportation, commerce, utilities, and public safety will be disrupted. With simultaneous outbreaks occurring over large geographic regions, communities will have to rely on local resources and coordinate their preparedness activities across all sectors. Networks and relationships have to be established to communicate and manage the risks, now and during the pandemic. This program will examine the case of California’s Santa Clara County, where the community is preparing for a pandemic that will challenge their public health system and affect every aspect of their daily life.
