"Information Overload"
Pandemic flu 60-second TV Script

Washington State Department of Health

This concept begins with images in fast-forward coming at the screen, first small then they get larger as they approach. The music is building and getting louder as the images draw near. All at once the images stop and the music goes dead. The screen flashes to color bars and the beep that accompanies them saying the television is off-air.

 “There’s so much going on in the world; it’s hard to know what to listen to – if it’s important or even real. "
Secretary of Health Mary Selecky



 

 

 “I’m Washington State Secretary of Health Mary Selecky. There’s been a lot of talk about avian flu lately. It’s important to know this is mainly a bird disease. Yet many experts think the virus could change in a way that puts people at risk – perhaps leading to a flu pandemic."
 
As the steps are spoken (for the first few seconds) the words that correspond as follows are seen on screen; large, white font:
 		 "Take steps now to be prepared:"
1. Good health habits "1. Practice good health habits. Wash your hands, cough and sneeze into your sleeve and stay home when you’re sick."
2. Stock supplies "2. Stock up on supplies. Have enough for a week or more."
3. Have a plan "3. Have an emergency plan. What will you do if schools close? What if you couldn’t get to nearby stores or go to work?"

“I’m ready. Are you?”
On screen we see the website and both the DOH logo and Public Health logo.

Narrator:  "Visit www.doh.wa.gov for information to help you prepare.”"
