title: Pandemic peril.
abstract: As avian flu has slipped from the headlines, funding for preparedness efforts has lagged. But public health experts say the threat remains, and the needed actions are expensive. Last year, $398 million was disbursed to 62 states and territories to address all hazards, and that's "not a lot of money," says Gregg Pane, left, director of national healthcare preparedness programs. And that leaves little for flu programs.
