Disaster planning: 10 things you can do to stay healthy

. h0 ^* t+ p4 B9 j$ ~/ o3 i# G5 b6 EDisaster planning before a major event such as pandemic flu is essential to riding out the event safely. Here are 10 important disaster planning tips.

' f7 m$ i. f0 X1. Stay healthy
5 |8 c8 I/ N7 c1 S; O4 @# vIt's impossible to know how or whether a flu pandemic, for example, might take shape, but being in good health can help protect you. A healthy body means a strong immune system that fights off infection. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting adequate sleep are all things you can do to maintain good health.

2. Get a seasonal flu shot
Although your yearly flu shot won't protect you from the bird flu, it's still protective against the more-common seasonal flu viruses. It's also a precaution against the possibility of getting simultaneous infections with both the common flu and bird flu. This is important because simultaneous infections are the main way that viruses swap genes and create new strains that potentially can cause flu pandemics.

3. Wash your hands frequently
Use soap and water or, when traveling or when water is scarce, an alcohol-based (60 to 95 percent) hand sanitizer to help prevent the spread of infection. It's especially important to wash your hands before handling food or touching your nose, mouth or eyelids. When you wash, use warm water and soap and scrub for at least 15 seconds. Even with washing, avoid touching your mouth or eyes with your fingers.

4. Use proper respiratory hygiene
* ?) d( `& o$ @- @: l8 \Cover your mouth and nose with tissue when you cough or sneeze. Discard used tissues immediately. If no tissue is available, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve.

  d6 G" b7 S  e8 R9 K% y" Y+ n8 N5. Consider wearing a mask
A respiratory mask may prevent you from inhaling airborne particles from an infected person's coughs or sneezes. The snug-fitting N95 face mask is the gold standard for infection protection.

: N9 o0 y1 U0 ^' o/ b% m4 M6. Wear gloves
( A9 i+ v1 A2 G6 K: E# QConsider wearing latex gloves when caring for someone with flu, as gloves may reduce the risk of direct contact with influenza viruses (but still wash your hands). Use latex-free gloves if you have a latex allergy.

7. Keep your home and work areas clean
Use disinfecting wipes or cleanser to clean such common surfaces as door handles, phones, computer keyboards, countertops and tools.

8 W( f+ g" T' x4 E6 s8. Be careful about the food you eat
9 t% b/ i( h! H- e& X' x& v% dDon't eat undercooked poultry or raw eggs. Thoroughly cooking poultry and eggs — and other types of meat — kills bacteria and viruses within these products.

9. Avoid contact with birds and bird-related material in areas where bird flu is occurring
Whether feeding ducks at a park or walking through an open-air market, touching or being close to birds or bird droppings can lead to bird flu transmission if birds in that area are infected.

10. Keep your distance
In the event of a pandemic, avoid public areas, work from home, avoid unnecessary travel, stay three to six feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing, and avoid shaking hands, hugging, or kissing.
