COLUMBUS: The Ohio Department of Health is trying to get your attention with its chilling radio and television ads warning what a severe flu outbreak would look like.
The TV public service announcement uses an empty football stadium, a classroom with no students and a graveyard to illustrate past pandemics. An ominous voice warns: ''It will happen again.''
Health Department spokesman Bret Atkins allows that the ads are ''certainly edgy.''
State officials aren't saying the threat of widespread flu has become more serious. But they're concerned about dwindling federal grant money to keep Ohio prepared for a pandemic.
So, the state wants residents to keep a supply of food and water and take other steps on their own to be ready for a public health emergency.
