SUMMARY:Vector-Borne Outbreaks: Emergency Prep Tabletop
DESCRIPTION:Mapping Community Outbreaks of Four Major Mosquito Viruses:\nHow Ready Are You? Your community? \nEmergency preparedness comes in many forms; however\, when it comes to outbreaks of Dengue Fever\, Eastern Equine Encephalitis\, or Chikungunya\, the reaction by a community needs to be more holistic – are you ready? West Nile virus has been present in TX for many years; however\, as it circulates\, it is important to consider how your community is handling those mosquitoes in your high-risk areas. How ready are you and your community for the next invasive disease? \nThis one-day tabletop exercise will educate attendees about arboviral diseases and discuss the process for involving state and regional stakeholders should a coordinated response to an outbreak be needed. Scenarios will focus on potential arboviral disease outbreaks specific to the North Texas region. \nThis class will include morning lectures\, a boxed lunch\, and an afternoon session of small-group exercises on specific outbreak cases based on AMCA and TMCA guidance. The three afternoon sessions will have class participants discuss and walk through Discovery\, Investigation\, and Response with a final discussion with concluding thoughts at the end of the program. \nThis workshop is open to anyone interested in vector-borne diseases\, emergency preparedness\, One Health initiatives\, and environmental health specialists in all settings. \nRegistration is required. Lunch is provided.

SUMMARY:2025 Texas Rodent Academy
DESCRIPTION:Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service IPM Experience House is offering the inaugural three-day\, intensive rat control training course for pest management professionals. This Academy is intended for pest management professionals\, municipalities\, universities\, public schools\, and food safety personnel involved in the rodent control programs. \nThe goal of the Texas Rodent Academy is to provide a highly focused and standardized approach to managing rodent populations through Integrated Pest Management (IPM). \nAfter completing the Academy\, graduates will be able to manage rodent populations more effectively because they will have a better understanding of: \n\nThe biology\, behavior\, and habitat of rodents\,\nContributing factors to infestation\,\nEffective ways of evaluating site-specific responses and strategies\, and\nEffective communication strategies with the public to achieve lasting change and improvements.\n\n  \nTentative Agenda \n\nDay 1 – Tuesday\, Nov. 18\, 2025 – 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nDay 2 – Wednesday\, Nov. 19\, 2025 – 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nDay 3 – Thursday\, Nov. 20\, 2025 – 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.\n\n  \nRegistration Fees: \n\nEarly Registration – $250 (through Friday\, November 7\, 2025)\nLate Registration – $300 (through Monday\, November 17\, 2025)\n\n  \nContinuing Education Credits are available for: \n\nStructural Pest Control Credits (SPCS) will be awarded to participants who provide their license numbers.\nRegistered Sanitarians can receive 6 hours of credit for attendance.
