After reading an older article in US Pharmacist here are some thoughts:
Is your CPR up to date so that you can immunize? That may be needed.

Are you seeing a spike in flu like symptoms? It's time to call the health department.

Inhaled anthrax isn't contagious, but the flu is. Most likely your patients may need to see the article printed out to believe you, but if you have your white coat on you may be more credible, unless you are worried about white coat induced hypertension of your patients.

The CDC has tips on what should be in your prep kit.

Did you know? There are five titles to the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, and you can get electronic updates.

On a more morose note here's an article from last year that talks about a California RPH who went to jail because he helped Pakistanis attack US soldiers.
