Welcome to Canterbury's own pandemic planning resource

History tells us the more informed and prepared you are, the better off you and your family will be in an influenza pandemic.

Here you'll find all the information, links and resources you'll need to begin your pandemic planning efforts, answering questions like:

• What should we expect if a pandemic hits?

• What should my business do?

• What should we stock up at home with?

• When should I go to the doctor? What do I do about my medication?

• How do we all keep healthy? How will we look after others?

Whether it's a household, workplace, neighbourhood or community group you're helping to prepare, this website offers tonnes of great advice, checklists, resources as well as handy information and tips from local pandemic planners and people just like you.

The Ministry of Health website is also a good source for the latest information on pandemic planning along with other health issues.
