Secretary of Health and Human Services, Michael Leavitt, speaking about the threat posed by H5N1 Avian Flu:

“Any community that fails to prepare, with the expectation that the federal government or, for that matter, even the state government will come to their rescue at the final moment will be tragically wrong,” the secretary told the audience.

DHS Secretary Chertoff emphasizes the point:

“The responsibility for preparedness,” said Chertoff, “falls on everybody.”

At least you can’t say they didn’t warn you.
