26. September 06, Associated Press — Maryland distributes bioterrorism preparedness cards. Maryland's public health agency is offering a guide to six biological, chemical, and radiological weapons printed on a folded sheet of paper that can be carried in a wallet. The bioterrorism preparedness cards from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene also contain tips on planning for, and responding to, such an attack. One side of the sheet has spaces for writing in emergency telephone numbers and any special medical needs of the card carrier. The cards were made available last week at local public health offices. The cards feature information about anthrax, botulism, smallpox, plague, sarin and dirty bombs −− explosive devices that disperse low−level radioactive material. The cards contain Internet addresses for Maryland's public health agency, the CDC and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, but no telephone numbers. County health offices can place or stamp their phone numbers in a blank space.
