Clackamas Community College is monitoring the spread of the H1N1 flu virus (swine flu) and is prepared to implement our "Pandemic Influenza Plan" if the situation affects any of our campuses. We have convened our Incident Response Team, and any decision will be made in close consultation with the County Public Health Department.

Campus Services has posted information about precautionary measures on all doors on all three college campuses:

• Wash hands often with soap and water
• Do not come to work or class if you are feeling ill
• Cover your mouth with something other than your hand if you cough

If the college needs to make a change from normal operations, the information will be distributed via FlashNews and posted on our website. Students and college employees can access additional information through the myClackamas Portal.

Useful phone numbers and links.
