TASKS AT A GLANCE
Task 12 Task 12: Demonstration Projects
Task 13 Public Education, Outreach, and Involvement
Task 14 Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements
Task 13: Public Education, Outreach, and Involvement


Citizen understanding is an essential component to the successful development and implementation of the Vector Control Wetlands Management Long-Term Plan. It is also critical to public acceptance of all the components of the County’s mosquito control program. Lack of adequate information helps create public misconceptions. It can also interfere with the County’s ability to properly perform vector control functions that have been sanctioned by knowledgeable professionals and well-informed citizens.

The public outreach program includes two components:

  1. Information outreach on project progress, findings, mosquitoes and mosquito control techniques, and marsh management, and,
  2. Participation in a citizen monitoring and restoration program.
