Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I'm a reporter and I'm trying to learn more about what folks are doing to prepare for H5N1. I think you are all right, the majority of the media isn't representing avian flu with the accuracy necessary to get people to prepare themselves. I want to talk to people who are really taking this into their own hands. What are you doing? Do you have a bunker? How many weeks of food have you stockpiled? How many Tamiflu doses do you have? Have you taken any measures for your pets? If anyone has time to get back to me personally, that would be great. My deadline is Monday at noon (ET) so if you have some time, please do tell me about what you're doing to prepare and why you feel preparedness is so important. Thanks a bunch! Ashley You can email me directly if you like at: abahearn@yahoo.com |

Just read all the boards. They pretty much speak for themselves.

Well Ashley, you are asking for some awful personal information there. Not that the information isn't on the site... we are reasonably free with our discussions and sharing here. BTW: I wouldn't recommend ANYONE telling ANYONE how much, if any, Tamiflu they have on hand. But, that's just me, perhaps there are others here that feel differently. SophiaZoe |

I do want you to know though that I'm sure we would LOVE to share with you our world view. Getting information out is of paramount concern to us. Would you be looking to write something informational or something to make us look like a bunch of nuts? Not that we don't have our nuttie moments, but I think you know what I mean. SZ |

Hi little chicken, yes we have food for a month, manly canned goods. Canned Tomatoes, canned soups, packaged sauces, pastas, rice,flour, sugar, treats like cookies, cake mixes. I don't think we'll lose our power.or water. If so the river is a block away. I'm not too worried about heating for cooking. We have a gas fireplace, for heat. Also have a Barbecue, for cooking as well, lots of propane. As for the pets I have a two month supply of pet foods, for the cats, and dog and all the dogs medicines ( She's older). For our Parrot we have six month supply of her pellets (they come from US) and we are working on her treats, I saved m&m boxes and had my daughter do the same, we'll put bulk raisins in them and tape shut. she loves the little child boxes of raisins.. I have all the medicines for colds, headaches and diarrhea. |

Everybody can post their answers to Ashley's questions on this thread. That way she can interview all of the members at one time. |

Another thing..... You didn't identify the media outlet or name of the organization you will be submitting your piece to. Fair's fair. You want us to bare all, how 'bout being a little more forth coming about who you represent. SZ |

The question about "Do you have a bunker" may be telling. |
