UB’s emergency preparedness team is closely monitoring developments in the rapidly changing swine flu outbreak.

Although at this time there are no reported cases of swine flu at UB or in Erie County, the team “believes it is prudent for members of the UB community to remain aware of this situation and follow recommendations put forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding personal health and travel,” says James A. “Beau” Willis, executive vice president for university support services and a member of the emergency preparedness team.

The team will provide updates, as necessary, to the UB community about how the outbreak may affect UB at the university’s Emergency Preparedness Web site.

Information about travel advisories, self-monitoring and health precautions also is available at the site.
