EEE Risk Level Raised to High in New Salem
From New Salem Health Agent:
Please see attachment for announcement from Massachusetts Department of Public Health concerning a case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a neighboring community. The risk level has been raised in our communities to high. See press release for precautions and about limiting activities if possible from dawn to dusk. I am available to assist and discuss with anyone. My office # 978-939-2377 cell 617-584-9714. Phil Leger Health Agent New Salem Town Officials are urging all New Salem residents to empty all containers (including tires) of standing water.  Standing water breeds mosquitos.   See attachments for further information.


September’s 2014 National Preparedness Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the important work we all do making sure our communities are safe, healthy, and ready for emergencies. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health {DPH} Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management is sponsoring a statewide campaign to encourage Massachusetts residents, families and communities to make plans and prepare for public health and medical emergencies, threats, and disasters. I am pleased to share an overview of the campaign and provide details on accessing resources that you can use to support preparedness messaging and awareness. DPH has established one central web page at   mass.gov/dph/ready   to provide information, tips and links for the public.
