Taken from Introduction, page 1

What can you do?
Prepare yourself and your family immediately for a possible pandemic. This includes gathering and storing emergency supplies and adopting habits that will reduce the chance of you or your family getting infected and spreading it to others(for example, washig hands regularly, covering nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough, and not spitting in public).

What Should You do to Prepare? (page 8)
You should be prepared for the possibility that in a pandemic many supplies will be limited and mobility will be greatly reduced. Be sure to take the necessary steps to have your affairs in order and plenty of critical supplies on hand.
    *Ensure ample supplies of ongoing and routine medications for self and family.
    *Ensure medical insurance coverage.
    *Purchase thermometers for each member of the family.
    *Stockpile hygiene products, water and food for six weeks (se Annex A for a detailed list of supplies).
    *Ensure passport, visa or permits are valid for staying put and for travel.
    *Update the emergency contact information that your organization has on file for you and your family.
