3.The Department of Public Health and the federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention predict West Nile virus will
again pose a public health threat in California in 2014.
4.Adequately funded mosquito and vector control, disease
surveillance, and public awareness programs, coupled with best
management practices on public and private lands, are the best
ways to prevent outbreaks of West Nile virus and other
diseases borne by mosquitoes and other vectors.
5.Excess numbers of mosquitoes and other vectors spread
diseases, reduce enjoyment of both public and private outdoor
living spaces, reduce property values, hinder outdoor work,
reduce livestock productivity, and have a negative impact on
the environment.
6.The public's awareness of the health benefits associated with
safe, professionally applied mosquito and vector control
methods will support these efforts, as well as motivate the
state and the public to eliminate mosquito and vector breeding
sites on public and private property.
7.West Nile Virus and Mosquito and Vector Control Awareness Week
will increase the public's awareness of the threat of West
Nile virus and other diseases and the activities of the
various mosquito and vector research and control agencies
working to minimize the health threat within California, and
will highlight the educational programs currently available.
This resolution declares the week of April 20, 2014, through
April 26, 2014, as West Nile Virus and Mosquito and Vector
Control Awareness Week.
