Here's another good info site (YAHOO Email Group):

From: Patricia Doyle, PhD
Investigator of Emerging Diseases

We are starting a civilian infectious disease surveillance network.

We need to get people monitoring for anomolous diseases as part of bioterrorism preparedness. We cannot wait until the Government or health care professionals recognize an event.

It is encumbant upon all of us to watch out for anomolous   diseases, i.e. clusters of illness, especially young healthy people coming down with illness.

Also, we need to monitor animal outbreaks and die offs. Many bioweapons are zoonotic.

We have been advocating that people store antibiotics, i.e. tablet form. Tablets freeze well and will keep potent indefinitely. Added to antibiotics, chloramphenicol (in event of plague meningitis.) Also, in event of Brucellosis, combine antibiotic with Rifampin.

Also people will need extra storeable foods, water purification systems, personal needs, and extra pet supplies. When an event does happen, we may not have basic services and quarantine would most likely be implemented. More then likely we would have to wait for military to deploy and man the electric company, phone, etc. People need to prepare.

People who have their own supplies will not need to break quarantine and be wandering in the streets.

Dr. Pat Doyle and other professionals have been working hard in this Yahoo Group, since 9-26, hoping to stay current and share knowledge about BioWarfare agents.
Their Welcome message which I posted was written at the hightened emotionaleriod, less than 3 weeks after 9-11. Going to the site just now, I see there are some kinda tin-foil fringe posts, but informtive posts as well.
Considering these folks worked hot and heavy for 8 months, they may be burnt out.
But they have not abandoned ship, they are ready when needed.
If you join up, and have any questions, just use the search feature to view their progress and conclusions. You can get on their email list, and if things heat up, you will get the best uncensored and current info on these issues.
