It occurs when a <br />new influenza virus/subtype emerges for which people have little or no immunity and <br />spreads easily person-to-person. A pandemic, such as this, can sweep across the country <br />and around the world in a very short time. <br /> <br />The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that if a pandemic flu outbreak were to <br />occur, it could affect 25-35 % of the population at any given time and 60% of all people <br />becoming ill over the course of event. These estimates could encompass 30% of city <br />staff being ill. <br /> <br />Over the winter and spring, staff met regularly to discuss, plan, and prepare for, in the <br />event of a pandemic flu outbreak. In April, as part of the City of Hastings' Employee <br />Safety Day, one of the training topics included Influenza. <br /> <br />FIRE SUPPRESSION <br /> <br />FIRE EDUCATION <br /> <br />FIRE PREVENTION <br /> <br />AMBULANCE SERVICE <br />
