Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe says Arkansans should be prepared and cautious, but not panicked by the H1 N1 virus.
Beebe says the state is well-prepared for the possibility of a swine flu outbreak.
"We have an ample supply of anti-viral medicine that's designed to attack this flu, and according to the CDC it's been effective in attacking this type of flu," Beebe says.
No cases of swine flu have been confirmed in Arkansas, but healthofficials say the virus will reach the state sooner or later.
