PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. — The first human cases of avian flu have been reported in Arizona, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services. In a news release, AZDHS said both people who contracted avian flu were exposed to infected poultry while working at a commercial facility in Pinal County. The two people have already been treated and recovered. The news release states they both reported mild symptoms. "Most human infections with H5 virus have occurred after unprotected exposure to sick or dead infected animals or their environment," the AZDHS news release said. "Human infections with H5 can happen when the virus gets in a person’s eyes, nose, mouth or is inhaled from close or prolonged exposure to sick animals or their environments." The Arizona Department of Agriculture said earlier in November that a poultry farm in Pinal County was put under quarantine after the poultry began displaying signs of avian flu. The farm was subjected to biosecurity measures and steps were being taken to eliminate the virus. There was also avian flu detected in a backyard flock in Maricopa County, according to the news release. According to the news release, there can be anywhere from mild to extreme symptoms people with avian flu can experience, including but not limited to: upper respiratory symptoms conjunctivitis pneumonia multi-organ failure death The state is "working with local, state, and federal partners to monitor bird flu in farm animals and people who work closely with poultry and dairy cows," the news release said. The state is also giving protective gear to farm workers who have contact with infected animals, as well as making sure people exposed or who contract bird flu have access to testing and treatment. Avian influenza H5 is a novel influenza A virus that primarily affects birds, the news release said. Human infection is considered rare. To reduce the risk of infection, AZDHS said people should avoid unprotected contact with sick or dead animals and their feces or bedding, and should not consume raw dairy products. Avian flu detections have been reported in California, Oregon and Utah over the last couple of weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Over the past five years there have been 13 declared natural disaster catastrophes . Login or signup to continue reading The devastation caused to our communities by these terrible floods, storms, cyclones and bushfires strikes is just as hard on our small and family businesses. And already, we have seen and marvelled at communities already dealing with nature's fearsomeness so early in the season ... Businesses can be directly damaged or wiped-out, or they become an indirect victim surviving the disaster only to have no customers or no meaningful local economy to service because of the impact on their town or region. It is happening too often for small business to ignore. But only one in four small businesses have a current business continuity plan. It is time for small business to be prepared for natural disasters. Or to make this even more immediate, personal and necessary, another lens might be preparing for an awful event such as a critical health episode that might take the business owner or leader out of the business for a period of time. An inquiry I conducted into the impact of natural disasters on small businesses found that taking simple steps to be better prepared, sensible risk mitigation action and bolstering resilience can help reduce the impact of these extreme weather events (or some other critical event) and support small and family businesses to get back on their feet quicker. Just like the businesses they run, small business owners are the lifeblood of our communities. They are often community leaders too - the first to volunteer to lead and contribute to local emergency response and business support groups, giving generously of themselves to help make preparations for the community such as laying sandbags, fighting fires and moving stock and people to higher and safer ground. But often our business leaders are not as diligent in getting their own business as prepared as possible, so they can be best placed to navigate a critical event, respond and recover. That's where an up-to-date business continuity plan is important so owners can contemplate the things that might knock them off course, whether it is a natural disaster or something that might happen to them personally such as a health episode or accident, and reduce their capacity to contribute to their business and enable the livelihoods that they and their team rely upon. There are easy steps that can make so much difference if disaster strikes and help aid recovery. This can be as simple as ensuring your record keeping is up to date and that critical information is at hand and, where possible, digitised so you can retrieve it if your premises are destroyed. Small business owners can use the following checklist: The Small Business Natural Disaster Preparedness and Resilience Inquiry recommended the creation of an opt-in My Business Record to allow a small business to digitally store all relevant government-held and other vital information it might need after a disaster. It is clear from our work that preparation is key to small and family businesses building resilience and coming through natural disasters in the best possible shape. It is equally clear the small business community cannot do this on their own and when a natural disaster strikes, certainty of response and certainty of support must be provided. By this we mean small business owners should automatically be engaged in local place-based planning and support services and be elevated and front of mind in disaster response, recovery and funding arrangements. This must include indirectly affected businesses. Immediately after a disaster a business support hub should be established to provide a single point from which to seek help from government and non-government agencies. A tell-us-once triage system should be adopted to save small business owners the trauma and time associated with repeating their story. Ongoing support is needed in the aftermath of a disaster. When a small business receives an Australian government grant, an additional amount should be made available six to nine months later for a business health check and longer-term recovery action. Disasters can have long-lasting effects for communities and small businesses. An integrated response is needed to disaster risk management for identified disaster-prone areas that incorporates priority access to mitigation expenditure, co-ordinated planning across levels of government and infrastructure hardening. Critical road upgrades should require that verges are cleared sufficiently to allow access or evacuation. Similarly, where telecommunications infrastructure upgrades include taxpayer support, funding should be conditional on it being durable in the face of a natural disaster. An ongoing problem is that many small businesses in elevated disaster-risk area are often denied accessible and affordable insurance. Our inquiry found many businesses cannot secure appropriate insurance at an affordable price, some are uninsured or underinsured or have eyewatering excesses that would preclude any claim being made. The insurance sector needs to do better. READ MORE: Frustratingly, insurers seem uninterested in the steps individual small and family businesses take to mitigate disaster risk. Individual businesses do everything they can possibly do but it has zero impact on the availability and the pricing of their premiums. We're told this is because the insurance companies look at risk across a broader pool - it is community-wide or industry-wide or neighbourhood-wide analysis. Yet the narrative, amplified through advertising, is often about what individuals might do. Natural disasters can cause lasting harm to the enterprising people who build businesses, employ local community members, and create vitality in our towns and communities. I urge small and family businesses to have a plan and be ready.

Trump calls for end to daylight saving timeBy CHRISTINE FERNANDO CHICAGO (AP) — As Donald Trump’s Cabinet begins to take shape, those on both sides of the abortion debate are watching closely for clues about how his picks might affect reproductive rights policy in the president-elect’s second term . Trump’s cabinet picks offer a preview of how his administration could handle abortion after he repeatedly flip-flopped on the issue on the campaign trail. He attempted to distance himself from anti-abortion allies by deferring to states on abortion policy, even while boasting about nominating three Supreme Court justices who helped strike down the constitutional protections for abortion that had stood for half a century. In an NBC News interview that aired Sunday, Trump said he doesn’t plan to restrict medication abortion but also seemed to leave the door open, saying “things change.” “Things do change, but I don’t think it’s going to change at all,” he said. The early lineup of his new administration , including nominations to lead health agencies, the Justice Department and event the Department of Veterans Affairs, has garnered mixed — but generally positive — reactions from anti-abortion groups. Abortion law experts said Trump’s decision to include fewer candidates with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement could indicate that abortion will not be a priority for Trump’s administration. “It almost seems to suggest that President Trump might be focusing his administration in other directions,” said Greer Donley, an associate law professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Karen Stone, vice president of public policy at Planned Parenthood Action Fund , said while many of the nominees have “extensive records against reproductive health care,” some do not. She cautioned against making assumptions based on Trump’s initial cabinet selections. Still, many abortion rights groups are wary, in part because many of the nominees hold strong anti-abortion views even if they do not have direct ties to anti-abortion activists. They’re concerned that an administration filled with top-level officials who are personally opposed to abortion could take steps to restrict access to the procedure and funding. After Trump’s ambiguity about abortion during his campaign, “there’s still a lot we don’t know about what policy is going to look like,” said Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law. That approach may be revealed as the staffs within key departments are announced. Trump announced he would nominate anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Health and Human Services Department, which anti-abortion forces have long targeted as central to curtailing abortion rights nationwide. Yet Kennedy shifted on the issue during his own presidential campaign. In campaign videos, Kennedy said he supports abortion access until viability , which doctors say is sometime after 21 weeks, although there is no defined timeframe. But he also said “every abortion is a tragedy” and argued for a national ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy, a stance he quickly walked back. The head of Health and Human Services oversees Title X funding for a host of family planning services and has sweeping authority over agencies that directly affect abortion access, including the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The role is especially vital amid legal battles over a federal law known as EMTALA, which President Joe Biden’s administration has argued requires emergency abortion access nationwide, and FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Mini Timmaraju, president of the national abortion rights organization Reproductive Freedom for All, called Kennedy an “unfit, unqualified extremist who cannot be trusted to protect the health, safety and reproductive freedom of American families.” His potential nomination also has caused waves in the anti-abortion movement. Former Vice President Mike Pence , a staunch abortion opponent, urged the Senate to reject Kennedy’s nomination. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the national anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said the group had its own concerns about Kennedy. “There’s no question that we need a pro-life HHS secretary,” she said. Fox News correspondent Marty Makary is Trump’s pick to lead the FDA, which plays a critical role in access to medication abortion and contraception. Abortion rights groups have accused him of sharing misinformation about abortion on air. Russell Vought , a staunch anti-abortion conservative, has been nominated for director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought was a key architect of Project 2025 , a right-wing blueprint for running the federal government. Among other actions to limit reproductive rights, it calls for eliminating access to medication abortion nationwide, cutting Medicaid funding for abortion and restricting access to contraceptive care, especially long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUD’s. Despite distancing himself from the conservative manifesto on the campaign trail, Trump is stocking his administration with people who played central roles in developing Project 2025. Trump acknowledged that drafters of the report would be part of his incoming administration during the Sunday interview with NBC News, saying “Many of those things I happen to agree with.” “These cabinet appointments all confirm that Project 2025 was in fact the blueprint all along, and the alarm we saw about it was warranted,” said Amy Williams Navarro, director of government relations for Reproductive Freedom for All. Dr. Mehmet Oz , Trump’s choice to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is a former television talk show host who has been accused of hawking dubious medical treatments and products. He voiced contradictory abortion views during his failed Senate run in 2022. Oz has described himself as “strongly pro-life, praised the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade , claimed “life starts at conception” and referred to abortion as “murder.” But he also has echoed Trump’s states-rights approach, arguing the federal government should not be involved in abortion decisions. “I want women, doctors, local political leaders, letting the democracy that’s always allowed our nation to thrive to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves,” he said during a Senate debate two years ago. An array of reproductive rights groups opposed his Senate run. As CMS administrator, Oz would be in a key position to determine Medicaid coverage for family planning services and investigate potential EMTALA violations.

Her nomination is being celebrated by abortion opponents but denounced by abortion rights groups concerned she may revive the Comstock Act , an anti-vice law passed by Congress in 1873 that, among other things, bans mailing of medication or instruments used in abortion. An anti-abortion and anti-vaccine former Florida congressman, David Weldon, has been chosen to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which collects and monitors abortion data across the country. Former Republican congressman Doug Collins is Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs amid a political battle over abortion access and funding for troops and veterans. Collins voted consistently to restrict funding and access to abortion and celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade. “This is a team that the pro-life movement can work with,” said Kristin Hawkins, president of the national anti-abortion organization Students for Life.
