Idaho H1N1 Influenza Information
http://www.panfluidaho.org/
State and local health officials in Idaho are concerned about H1N1 Influenza and are monitoring reports of human cases of H1N1 influenza from across the United States and other countries, particularly Mexico.
In Idaho, public health officials are aggressively working with medical providers and Idaho Public Health Districts to identify any reports of influenza-like illnesses that may be related to the H1N1 Influenza. Because of the high amount of travel by Idaho residents, the H1N1 Influenza could be introduced to Idaho. No probable or confirmed cases have been reported to date in Idaho residents. There is not a vaccine available for the H1N1 Influenza, but people can help stay healthy by following the prevention tips outlined below.
Summer Safety less...
As summer approaches, it is time to start thinking about fire season and other warm weather disasters.
Fires in our forests, rangelands and communities are a fact of life in Idaho and it is imperative for Idahoans to protect themselves and their
homes from wildland fires. Homeowners should not delay creating defensible space around their homes and everybody should do their part to
prevent wildfires. Information to help you be prepared for this hazard is below. Other things to think about and prepare for during the
summer months include thunderstorms, flash floods
, and high heat.
