I was just thinking about ways in which we can get the message out to people to use this site to gather information and make informed decisions about preparing for BF.
I have just added the following to my signature for my emails (in bigger italic blue text)
‘Stay informed about avian influenza. Visit http://www.fluwikie.com/ ‘
Most excellent idea!! I’ve been using the URL AND the swan logo graphic logo in my Outlook signature for several months now. I’ve had a ton of people at work ask me about it.
One day I had to email my boss several cities away with a “formal” email, and he called me just about 5 minutes after I sent it, asking what that was all about. I had forgotten to remove the logo. I explained FluWiki to him, and about prepping, and we talked for almost 30 minutes. Turns out he’s also a prepper, and has been following AF for some time! And he said to keep the logo on my signature because more people need to know!!!
Boy, was I relieved!
Good idea, AnnieB, but guess I’d say,
“Stay informed about how to prepare during this Pre-Pandemic Alert Period”
(Don’t think I have any friends anymore by now to write to anyway…;-))
September is Preparedness Month and October has Pandemic Awareness Week.
People could also use, for some instances,
“Seen the federal pandemicflu.gov site, up since 0ct.2005 ?”
What a great idea,,,,,,,,,thanks just added onto mine.
I was adding it to my eBay auctions, but I don’t have anything listed right now!
Thats a good idea on the e-mail. I sent a friend of mine an e-mail in Chicago area and ask if she was ready for the flu,this was her response “ What flu? what are you referring to???? “ So I sent her the site.
What an awesome idea!!! will add it to mine too!
Great idea - i added pandemic info in my signature months ago… and LOST CLIENTS!!!!!
Go figure - you try to save a life or two and get kicked in the teeth.
Maybe the time is ripe now.
Here’s
The Ten things the World Health Oragnization thought you needed to know about Pandemic Influenza 14 October 2005

I’ve added the like to my emails. And I printed up the WHO list to post at work. By now I don’t care if people do think I’m crazy or overly paranoid.
Thank You all for the Great Idea and the list :)
