At a bird flu summit in Richmond, Va., the Health and Human Services Secretary had a warning for local officials.
Secretary Mike Leavitt said the federal government can not be relied upon to protect states from a potential flu pandemic.
Leavitt said communities that assume the federal government will come to the rescue will be wrong.
The secretary made his remarks at a summit with local governments, schools, and health and emergency services officials.
