From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy Installations Command website is the U.S. Navy's go-to site for information about seasonal flue and H1N1. This site is unique in that it is standardized across the Navy Installations Command enterprise and has 89 'front pages' representing the headquarters, 11 Regions and 77 Installations. You can get to the Operation Prepare button on all front pages.

"In an effort to reach our total Navy family, we are using the Navy Installations Command website's Operation Prepare capability to provide current, relevant and meaningful information about seasonal flu and H1N1 to our Fleet, Fighters, Families and our local communities where we reside, says VADM Mike Vitale, Commander, Navy Installations Command. "It is important to everyone to prepare for this flu season and this site should assist with getting the right information to the right folks today."

The Navy Installations Command website has been expanded to include updated information for both seasonal flu and the H1N1 flu virus. Visitors to the site can get a quick understanding of how the current H1N1 pandemic relates to and differs from the familiar seasonal flu experienced each year. There is information on how the viruses are transmitted, their symptoms and treatments, and, most importantly, how to protect yourself and family.

This new addition will also offers links to and updates from Navy Medicine, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help the Navy community stay informed on any H1N1/Flu developments.

The site will provide live, breaking H1N1 news feeds via RSS from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Links to CDC and HHS websites are also provided.
