Our award winning Public Information and Education department strives to raise awareness of mosquitoes and the many mosquito borne diseases, such as West Nile. Education and outreach is done through an aggressive advertising and media campaign utilizing radio and television commercials, social media campaigns and outdoor ads. Information is also disseminated to the public through press releases that are issued throughout the year and our attendance at community events throughout Sacramento and Yolo counties.

Two additional elements important to our department are community outreach and education. Our school program also includes classroom presentations for grades K-12 where children learn about the life cycle of mosquitoes, mosquito borne diseases and prevention tips. During these interactions, students are encouraged to learn more about mosquitoes and other vectors as well as the services the District provides.
