The second presentation is a judicial perspective from a rural Pennsylvania county and outlines the preparations that should be taken by the courts. Each presentation is delivered in short units. At the conclusion of each unit, close the window and return to this page to view the next segment. The third presentation is a medical perspective for those coming into contact with individuals infected with influenza H5N1.
