UL System Campus Influenza Preparations

UL System institutions are implementing a variety of proactive approaches for dealing with expected H1N1 influenza impact during the 2009-2010 academic year.  Some of these strategies include:

• incorporation of Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals guidance for higher education institutions into campus planning and response activities;
• education and awareness campaigns using multiple communication media targeting students, faculty, and administrative staff, with particular attention to high risk populations;
• enhanced monitoring and patient counseling through campus student health centers;
• consultation and collaboration with parish emergency preparedness officials and regional offices of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals;
• review and enhancement of developing and existing emergency management plans, business continuity procedures, and alternative instructional delivery tools in order to manage incidents of high absenteeism among employees and students;
• reiteration of basic prevention and coping strategies for affected persons (frequent hand-washing; coughing and sneezing etiquette; avoiding work and class for at least 24 hours following absence of fever apart from use of fever-reducing medications); and
• Campus-specific H1N1 plans and contact information is included below.
