HONOLULU (HI Now) - The Hawai’i Department of Agriculture & Biosecurity, in partnership with the Governor’s office, has launched a new mobile-friendly website — avianflu.hawaii.gov — to help the public stay informed and prepared when it comes to avian influenza. Designed for backyard flock owners, farmers, and the general public alike, the site offers the latest updates, reporting instructions, and answers to common questions about the H5N1 virus. While avian flu spreads naturally among wild and domestic birds, officials emphasize that the current risk to people in Hawai’i remains low and that there has been no definitive evidence of human-to-human transmission in the U.S. If you spot multiple sick or dead birds in one area, don’t handle them with bare hands — visit avianflu.hawaii.gov for reporting numbers, safety tips, and everything you need to know to protect your family and flock.
Visit avianflu.hawaii.gov for details on reporting possible cases of avian influenza, information for owners of flocks of birds, and facts for anyone concerned about human transmission of the disease.
