Book Reviews of Bird Flu What to Do: Prepare to Survive
Book Review: A tremendously important book
Summary: 5 Stars
"I applaud Verona Fonte for this tremendously important book. May her ideas spread - "like a virus" - quickly and widely - to individuals, organizations and communities throughout the world. Dr. Fonte has assembled an enormous amount of information into a clear and easy-to-read guide - for reference and for action.
Her emphasis is on the power of preparedness, and she has gifted us with simple guidelines. While the immediate focus is on the avian flu, this book is a manual for survival in a much larger sense. We are living at a crucial time. As we attend the many tasks of our day-to-day lives, each of us feels deeply a bit of foreboding: we are aware of the growing possibility of a large scale disaster, whether it be natural or man-made. Dr. Fonté's vision empowers us to begin to act collectively, to strengthen our connections, as families, as organizations and communities. Putting our health first, she teaches us to see our interdependence, and leads us to come together to create a safer and more sustainable world. Thank you Dr. Fonte! May this book find its way, quickly!, to homes, libraries, coffee tables, community centers, clinics, and businesses far and wide."

Summary of Bird Flu What to Do: Prepare to Survive
BIRD FLU WHAT TO DO: PREPARE TO SURVIVE is a concise, yet comprehensive book that outlines disaster preparation - with a particular focus on what to do if there is an influenza pandemic - for ordinary citizens, covering food/water storage, special needs of those unable to care for themselves, neighborhood and community organization, home health care under dire circumstance, quarantine preparation, and safety/security issues at home. The book both consolidates resources available to the public and goes beyond what is accessible to the ordinary citizen with contributions from experts in diverse fields, and an extended appendix covering what to get, where to get it and additional information that could prove lifesaving.The book is not fear based, but attempts to normalize disaster preparation, posing it as one the most socially responsible thing we can "just do." This book fills the gap between what public health can do and what we ordinary citizens need to do. Communities, neighborhoods, and families that have made the effort to prepare to survive natural disasters will be more resilient if and when a natural disaster occurs.
