Interesting article, Gayle.  Those of you from older institutions might want to look at how your institutions responded to the 1918-19 flu epidemic.  

Likely, any community response will be orchestrated by local public health officials so they are the folks with whom you'd need to put your heads together for advance planning There's a lot of information out there on the ways different cities and states have handled epidemic situations -- besides the flu, the official reaction to the waves of summer polio infections up until the later 1950's are also relevant.
