(KSL News) Health, education, community and business leaders in Utah will all try to get on the same page to get ready in case the bird flu comes to Utah. A summit on that subject is being held today.

Utah education officials say they need to plan for the bird flu just like any other emergency. State Superindendant Patti Harrington tells KSL Newsradio if a child was found with bird flu, people would have to act quickly.

Harrington says a plan against the bird flu pandemic will most likely include quarantines. She says educators should know more after today's summit with state and health leaders.
