The DODD, in cooperation with other state and local agencies, has developed and continues to update an H1N1 Flu emergency response plan relevant to individuals with disabilities and their families. For the most relevant information on H1N1, visit www.odh.ohio.gov or DODD's Swine Flu Information.
There are areas in which the DODD has identified a risk to people, and what can be done to avoid or reduce that risk. Information about these risks is called Health and Safety Alerts.
