Editor’s Note: This is the second official emergency advisory by the American Red Cross (ARC), prepared exclusively for NAM’s ethnic media network whose audiences may be impacted by H1N1 (Swine) Flu.

The Emergency Messaging System (EMS) we have developed will allow ARC to know which media have opened the message and will allow you to send ARC your own translated version as appropriate and feedback on the system. We are still fine-tuning the EMS but preparation for H1N1 Flu is so critical that ARC asked us to send out their advisory immediately. We hope it will be helpful to you.
