FLOOD-10
Coordinate with the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District in the design and installation of underground cisterns and other drainage facilities to reduce and treat vectors.
Expand public outreach and education through multiple forms of media (e.g., radio, television, social media) to reduce standing water in areas that attract mosquitos. Include information regarding methods of protection (e.g., covering up, use of sprays).
Benefits: Stagnant water following flood events provides excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other insects that may carry vector-borne diseases (e.g., West Nile virus, Zika virus). Expending greater resources to expand upon existing educational programs would reduce the deleterious effects these diseases may have on Sacramento County residents.Timeframe: Near term
