From: Patricia Doyle, PhD Investigator of Emerging Diseases We are starting a civilian infectious disease surveillance network. We need to get people monitoring for anomolous diseases as part of bioterrorism preparedness. We cannot wait until the Government or health care professionals recognize an event. It is encumbant upon all of us to watch out for anomolous diseases, i.e. clusters of illness, especially young healthy people coming down with illness. Also, we need to monitor animal outbreaks and die offs. Many bioweapons are zoonotic. We have been advocating that people store antibiotics, i.e. tablet form. Tablets freeze well and will keep potent indefinitely. Added to antibiotics, chloramphenicol (in event of plague meningitis.) Also, in event of Brucellosis, combine antibiotic with Rifampin. Also people will need extra storeable foods, water purification systems, personal needs, and extra pet supplies. When an event does happen, we may not have basic services and quarantine would most likely be implemented. More then likely we would have to wait for military to deploy and man the electric company, phone, etc. People need to prepare. People who have their own supplies will not need to break quarantine and be wandering in the streets. Patricia Doyle, PhD Investigator of Emerging Diseases Zhan le Devlesa tai sastimasa ***********
