SUMMARY:Rodent Control Foundations: Behavior\, Risks\, and Real-World Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Rodents are among the most persistent and destructive pests in the United States\, posing serious health\, safety\, and structural concerns in both residential and commercial settings. This webinar explores the foundational principles of rodent control through a close look at the most commonly encountered species in the United States\, highlighting how their biology and behavior drive infestation patterns and shape effective control strategies. \nInspection techniques will be addressed\, with attention to identifying signs of rodent activity\, locating entry points\, and recognizing conditions that support infestation. A key component of the webinar will be the introduction to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies where Janet Hurley\, ACE\, MPA\, Senior Extension Program Specialist – IPM at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service\, will emphasize the importance of using multiple tactics—such as exclusion\, sanitation\, monitoring\, trapping\, and targeted rodenticide applications—for long-term control and prevention. The discussion will also address the proper use\, and common misuse\, of rodenticides along with considerations related to safety and regulatory compliance. \nThrough this comprehensive exploration\, the session offers a practical foundation for addressing one of the most adaptable and challenging pests in modern pest management. \nRegister using the Event Website link above.

SUMMARY:2025 Preparedness Summit\, Pathways to Recovery in the Aftermath of Disasters
DESCRIPTION:Recovery is an important but often overlooked phase in the disaster life cycle that begins immediately after the threat to human life has subsided. We\, as a community\, must take time to be intentional about recovery to learn from our experiences and improve preparedness and response capacity into the future. This is particularly timely in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and amidst the cascading challenges of environmental disasters.\n\nNow is our opportunity to ask questions and develop answers as we consider roles and responsibilities\, and resources needed to undertake the crucial step of recovery. What does recovery look like for individuals\, systems\, organizations\, and the community? How do we ensure equity in all aspects of recovery? How do we strengthen relationships across sectors to work together in recovery? How do we ensure our workforce is part of a recovery plan? How does recovery impact how we prepare for and respond to the next event?\n\nThe theme of the 2025 Preparedness Summit\, “Pathways to Recovery in the Aftermath of Disasters\,” will provide an opportunity to explore these and many other questions as we share experiences\, learn\, and collaborate across the public health\, emergency management\, and healthcare sectors. By taking the time to consider and incorporate into our work the many facets of recovery\, we can truly build resilience with our communities in the short- and long-term.
