Background

On March 13, 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched PlanFirst, a regular Webcast series on pandemic planning. The goal of the PlanFirst Webcasts is to help states, local communities, employers, faith-based and civic organizations, and families and individuals learn more about pandemic planning.

The pandemic influenza PlanFirst Webcasts are brought to you by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
