Online Map to check your area for flu outbreaks


With all the talk of H1N1 (or as I like to call it, THE Swine Flu) and all the other viruses going around, I thought you would enjoy visiting this website which provides the latest information on flu outbreaks in the world. http://healthmap.org/en
HealthMap aggregates news feeds from the WHO, Google News, ProMED, and elsewhere to map out all of the disease outbreaks. It includes a heat index to understand how bad certain situations really are and the most recent health-related news items.

Tip: To check just for influenza-related news, check only the box that says “influenza” under “Diseases, last 30 days”.
