bump
I’ve asked that the pandemic flu flyers have a permanent home somewhere on the Wiki, but in the meantime - bump.

One last bump for PFAW. (Sounds as if we need Pandemic Flu Awareness Year, to me.)

I posted this in the Moderators thread too. If you’re looking for a good spot on the wiki to post links to these flyers, how about the Raising Awareness page?
ETA:
Or as crfullmoon suggested, there’s the Handouts section on the Prep Guide page. Or both.
Rob T, WAprepper, and Jane - Pogge suggests Flu Wiki readers will see the flyers faster if the Raising Awareness thread links to an independent site rather than this thread. I’ve posted a link to mindspinner.net on the Raising Awareness page, but I’d like to include your links to your flyers on that page, too, so that visitors would find links to all flyers on one page. With your permission, I’ll revise that page at mindspinner.net to include all our links.
Inky;
Sounds good to me, go for it.
Hi Rob - It’s back to work for me this morning, but I’ll make the revisions within the next few days.
Thanks Inky, sounds great! Thanks for all you are doing. Here’s a .pdf of Jane’s quarter page flyer:
I’ve revised the page at mindspinner.net to link to all the flyers now :-). They’ve had thousands of hits, by the way. I hope that means that they are still being downloaded, printed and distributed. Thanks Rob, waprepper, and Jane for putting together a variety of versatile formats. It’s now easy for anyone to share the facts about pandemic flu and make the argument for preparedness. So much depends on what we are willing to take the time to do, especially when the message isn’t coming through loud and clear from other sources.
InKy;
And thank YOU for kicking off the flyer exercise with yours.
Now, I think it’s time to see how we can get some air time on the MSM to have these issues aired, debated, and SIP recommendations put to the public.
