General Information
| The District offers some of the most comprehensive
public vector education programs in the United States. Programs,
including a large library of information pamphlets and "how to" instructions,
are anchored by a dedicated Outreach Coordinator. District
education programs are noted for their informative style, content,
and professional delivery. Citizen groups, city counsels,
and other public entities are encouraged to contact the District
and request a program on vectors, on services provided by the
District, or on what private citizens and commercial interests
can do to prevent vectors. Programs emphasize rats, flies,
mosquitoes, and Red Imported Fire Ants. |

Educational Themes and Program Content
The intent of the District's education
programs is to inform our citizens of vectors as they impact
human health, property, and life style. In addition,
common sense pointers are explained to guide audiences to a
reasonable understanding that vectors are "manageable" if proper
exclusion and preventative measures are used. Vector
prevention is touted as being the one sure commitment from
the public that has the most beneficial impact towards vector
control.
If your school or civic
organization is interested in having a vector program presented
by the District, please contact Tawnia Pett at (714) 971-2421
Ext. 166 or at tpett@ocvcd.org. |
