The Departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security held a conference call on Thursday, September 24 entitled “Community and Faith-based Organizations and Response to 2009 H1N1 Flu.”

A jointly prepared resource document “H1N1 Flu: A Guide for Community and Faith-based Organizations” [pdf] is now available. They note that local organizations are crucial leaders and resources in their communities and essential partners in comprehensive state and local flu response.

HHS has posted a call summary on their listserv. If you are not part of the HHS listerv, you can join here. Click ‘Join the Mailing List’ under the ‘Newsletter’ box on the right-hand side of your screen.
