Influenza Information
This site provides information about the University's plans for addressing the possible effects of a pandemic influenza outbreak on The Rockefeller University campus and population. The site also provides links to government and advisory agency websites for more information about influenza and advice for developing personal and family preparedness plans.
The University's Preparedness and Response Plan
The Rockefeller University Safety Committee (RUS) has appointed a subcommittee to review and make recommendations for the University's plans for pandemic illnesses, including flu. The University has taken some significant steps to prepare the University for a pandemic influenza event. The planning is on going and involves critical personnel and departments throughout the University.
An influenza pandemic, or threat of one, will trigger certain pre-established preparedness and response actions, as defined under the University Disaster Plan, including activation of the command center, establishment of the relief information center, and issuance of preparedness and response communication, including the use of the University's critical information website.
During an influenza pandemic, the University's primary goals will be:
- To protect the health and safety of the University community.
- To preserve and protect University resources.
- To communicate rapidly, accurately and frequently with members of the University community.
- To work with appropriate government agencies and organizations in support of and in response to their actions and efforts.
