The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) researchers are working to provide the science needed to better prepare and respond to outdoor and indoor wildfire smoke.
Homes built before 1980 are at a higher risk of having been built with asbestos containing materials (ACMs) than those built after 1980. This is dangerous because exposure to asbestos greatly increases the chances of developing a health condition, such as mesothelioma cancer or asbestosis later in life.
From establishing your health department’s social media presence to finding out which platforms work best in communicating with your audiences, NACCHO’s Social Media Toolkit: A Primer for Local Health Department PIOs and Communications Professionals will help local health departments get started and grow their social media programs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated their guidance for infection prevention and control (IPC) for healthcare settings.
Research from Yale University and the University of California, Los Angeles indicated having staff working at more than one nursing home is a major factor for transmission of COVID-19. Along with the U.S. Digital Response, they’ve translated research into a usable tool to explore staff connections: ProtectNursingHomes.org.
To advance local health department engagement in IPC activities, NACCHO, in partnership with Project Firstline, released a new report highlighting the IPC activities conducted by LHDs, their training needs, and opportunities to bolster IPC capacity at the local level.
Local health departments (LHDs) are uniquely and ideally situated to conduct an assessment to better understand and respond to the COVID-19 vaccine needs of local communities.
