How Will Swine Flu Affect Storm Shelters?
ORLANDO — As Florida emergency managers watch the movement of tropical weather on both sides of the state, concerns are rising about how the H1N1 swine flu virus will affect their shelter operations. Leaders from Emergency Management, the Health Department and the Red Cross have been in talks for a few weeks. They said they have discussed different ideas on how to handle the potential problem. Although no official decisions have made, emergency managers said they would need to keep anyone with swine flu in a separate area of the shelter. Leaders said they do not want people to be afraid to come to the shelters.
