The Citizen, 2007-12-20, Page 29The Huron County Health Unitsays it is ready for a pandemicoutbreak.The Auditor General of Ontarioreleased his annual report yesterdayand said health units in the provinceare not adequately prepared for an
outbreak.
But Huron County Health Unit
public health manager, Alex Berry,
says the health unit has had a
pandemic plan in place for over 10
years.
“We continually update the
plan as we work with the
hospitals, long term care facilities
and other community partners who
would have a role during an
outbreak.”
The health unit has public health
nurses dedicated to continually
updating the emergency plan, which
includes the pandemic plan.
Berry says, “One key to our
pandemic plan is a clear way of
making decisions. This is important
because we want to be able to
respond quickly to different
scenarios in terms of what might beneeded during an emergency.”Berry said on to say that the healthunit is in a unique position becausethe county’s emergencymanagement program is based in thehealth unit. This allows the health unit and county and municipalitiesto plan for a pandemic in a co-ordinated way.Berry said the residents of HuronCounty can be confident that thehealth unit is ready to deal with apandemic outbreak.THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2007.
