Pandemic Flu: Resources for Community Planning
Overview
Perhaps best known to visitors as the home of the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington boasts high quality residential neighborhoods. Residents are actively involved in the community. Arlington has 57 civic associations, dozens of citizen boards and commissions, and over 100 community service organizations. There are almost 200 public parks and playgrounds, 86 miles of biking/jogging trails, 14 community centers, 5 theaters, and 8 libraries in Arlington for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Community and faith-based organizations will play an integral role in the event of a pandemic. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have developed a checklist to assist community organizations with their pandemic planning. The Medical Reserve Corps(MRC) has adapted HHS planning checklists to create guidelines for MRC units.
