Mosquitoes, small annoying insects, can become a health risk, especially when they are vectors of exotic diseases. Curtatone is committed, with the support of the ATS of Val Padana, to raising awareness in our community, because prevention starts with each of us.
Every action counts, every small gesture has an impact. Reducing the presence of mosquitoes is possible if we all adopt the good practices suggested by the health authorities: avoid stagnation of water, use mosquito nets, wear protective clothing and apply repellents.
The City of Curtatone has put in place a targeted disinfestation plan, with planned interventions and prevention strategies to protect our health. Thanks to the National Prevention Plan, every intervention is designed to effectively combat the spread of diseases, but everyone's collaboration is essential.
To protect the health of our community and prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, it's critical that we all do our part. The ATS of Val Padana, with the support of municipalities, is implementing concrete strategies to combat the proliferation of mosquitoes and the exotic diseases they can carry.
The Po Valley ATS plays a crucial role in coordinating prevention and surveillance interventions. It supports municipalities in choosing the best larvicide products, ensuring the best toxicological profile and helping to define operational protocols for disinfestation interventions. His experience allows him to effectively manage all the actions necessary to keep outbreaks under control, including ordinary and extraordinary disinfestations. In addition, the ATS is committed to raising public awareness with information campaigns on the risks related to mosquitoes and on the prevention measures that every citizen can adopt.
The City of Curtatone, with the help of ATS and other health authorities, has activated a comprehensive intervention program to combat the spread of mosquitoes.
The plan includes:
- Continuous monitoring: The Municipality has activated a permanent monitoring program to identify the presence and type of mosquitoes, and locate the places with the greatest risk of proliferation.
- Targeted interventions: Depending on the monitoring results, larvicide and adulticide interventions are planned in public areas, such as parks and gardens, with the use of atomizers and specific treatments.
- Prevention in private areas: An ordinance has been issued that invites citizens to intervene in their private areas, with simple and fundamental actions, such as covering rainwater collection containers and regularly treating manholes and wells.
- Information campaigns: The City has launched an information campaign through brochures, billboards, local media and the internet to raise public awareness of the importance of taking preventive measures and the use of repellents and mosquito nets.
- Emergency plan: In case of reports of mosquito-borne diseases, such as Chikungunya, the Municipality has prepared an emergency intervention protocol, coordinating with the Civil Protection, health authorities and law enforcement agencies to avoid further infections and protect the population.
The commitment of the Municipality and the ATS of Val Padana is essential for everyone's health security. But the fight against mosquitoes and vector-borne diseases is a challenge that involves every single citizen. Do your part, protect yourself and your community!
The actions don't stop there. It is crucial to constantly monitor the situation and act promptly at the slightest sign. The health of our community also depends on our ability to be responsible and informed.
In addition, to be always updated and ready to act, the City of Curtatone offers direct communication tools, such as the website, mass media and publications, to inform us about the correct behaviors to adopt.
To enjoy a quiet summer season, it is essential that we join together in the fight against mosquitoes. It's not just about protecting our health, but also about preserving the beauty and tranquility of our territory. Every small individual action is part of a big collective commitment to a healthier, safer and cleaner future.
Together we can live better, more protected and at peace, because health is a gift that must be protected.
