The National Council of Nonprofits has issued a special alert in a continuing effort to ensure nonprofit leaders have the information needed to prepare for the challenges posed by the H1N1 Flu. President Obama recently declared a national emergency because,"the rapid increase in illness across the Nation may overburden health care resources." The emergency declaration will provide healthcare facilities more flexibility in providing treatment. This declaration also signals that extra precautions should be taken by nonprofits.

To help nonprofits be prepared for the flu, the National Council of Nonprofits has created an on-line H1N1 Preparedness Toolkit. It offers, in a single mouse click, up-to-date and practical information on issues relating to the H1N1 flu for use with board members, employees, and volunteers.  Read More at http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/flu.2009.toolkit
