Program
CMMCP PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM:
A comprehensive educational program
is offered to member schools, civic groups and town departments. The program
is aimed towards mosquito biology, mosquito habitat, control techniques and efforts
citizens can undertake to reduce the potential for mosquito populations in
their own neighborhood. This program is tailored to suit the requirements of
the individual group, from elementary school children, to high school, to
adult groups. Each year we reach out to well over 1,000 people in our service
area.
The goals of this program are:
·
To inform the general public, as well as professional groups, of the
mosquito control activities intended
for each member community. This is done through:
o News releases,
o Speakers for community and professional
organizations,
o Special educational and training programs
(including seminars for environmental interest groups),
o Integration of proposed vector control
programs with other organizations, agencies and institutions with similar
goals.
·
To offer educational programs to the public school system within the
member cities and towns. Programs will be aimed toward mosquito biology,
mosquito habitat, and efforts which students can undertake to reduce mosquito
populations in their neighborhoods.
·
Keep the member communities informed of changes and advancements in
mosquito control technology and legislation.
CMMCP
personnel have exhibited at health fairs and other assemblies organized by
town departments or civic groups. Displays have been presented at libraries
and other locations upon request. Personnel are available to meet with town
boards and committees, as well as other concerned groups. Presentations at
Annual Town Meetings have been requested from both member and potential
member cities and towns.
CMMCP
began program in 2006 in which display boards are brought to each town hall
for several weeks each year. These display boards include basic information
on our program, as well as mosquito biology and WNV transmission. Public
relations handouts are included with each display so the public will have the
basic information to take with them to control mosquitoes in their area and
to contact our office to answer questions and if additional work is needed. PR
material is stocked in all member town halls and libraries throughout the
year. See a sample of the current display
board (actual size 4ft. by 3ft) .– would you like a display in your
office/department/building? Contact us at cmmcp@cmmcp.org
and we can arrange it at your convenience.
Monthly
memos are sent in the mosquito season to the Boards of Health to outline
current mosquito practices in place, and an update on WNV, EEE and other
possible arboviruses. It is planned to
offer to town department staff and eventually the general public organized
seminars at the Project office which outlines the Project’s services,
teaches basic mosquito biology and tours of the Project facility.
