A new Wisconsin “You Stop the Spread” Multimedia Campaign was launched today! The campaign uses a variety of platforms to remind people to take precautionary measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. By sharing the message more widely throughout communities in Wisconsin, we can motivate one another to continue physical distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands and staying home when sick.
Share how you're doing your part to #YouStopTheSpread on social media. Help spread the word by taking a picture of yourself (feel free to include friends) doing your part (wearing a mask, washing your hands, staying 6 feet from others) and post on your social media accounts using the hashtag #YouStopTheSpread. Be sure to include why you are doing your part, like: I'm protecting my dad or grandma, supporting essential workers, or helping local businesses stay strong.

Highlights 9/8/2020: National Preparedness Month
The year 2020 has shown us that being prepared for disaster is incredibly important, as you never know when an emergency will strike. It is best to be prepared for all possible disasters or emergency situations to keep yourself and your family safe and healthy. National Preparedness Month is a time for public health to focus on emergency preparation at the community level and also provides families with advice and resources to ensure they are adequately prepared for disasters.
Emergency Preparedness Tips:
• Make a plan! Know how you will access emergency alerts and updates, where you will go for shelter or where your family will meet, how you will evacuate if necessary and how your family will communicate. More information on making an emergency plan: http://ow.ly/GMRV50Bl32A
• Build a kit with items you and your family may need in a disaster, such as food, water, a radio, flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, etc. More advice on building a kit: http://ow.ly/o2GG50Bl32B
• Take a CPR and first aid class
• Know which disasters to prepare for in your area: In Wisconsin, weather related disasters to prepare for include extreme heat or cold, floods, tornados, thunderstorms and wildfires. Other disasters that could impact Wisconsin include bioterrorism, chemical release and radiation. Wisconsin preparedness resources: http://ow.ly/aS3E50Bl32z

NSHD Highlights 8/26/2020: Influenza Season – Get your flu shot!
Every year it is important to receive an influenza vaccine, but this season it is more crucial than ever as COVID-19 continues to be a concern within our communities. Influenza and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses that are caused by different viruses and typically present with similar symptoms. Although there is currently no vaccine for COVID-19, influenza vaccines are available and are highly recommended as we approach this year’s flu season. Receiving your flu shot can help to minimize the burden on healthcare systems that are devoting their resources to the COVID-19 response. Additionally, the preventive measures we are employing to protect ourselves from COVID-19 can also be effective in preventing exposure to influenza and preserving our healthcare systems, such as physical distancing, mask wearing and hand washing.
Learn more about influenza and COVID-19: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm
Learn more about preventing influenza: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/index.html
It is recommended that everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated for influenza. Flu vaccines initiate the development of antibodies approximately two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies offer protection against infection with the influenza viruses used to make the vaccine. More information on the different influenza viruses in the vaccine can be found on the CDC Website: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/keyfacts.htm. You should get a flu vaccine before influenza starts spreading in your community. Make plans to get vaccinated as early in fall as possible to allow your body time to develop antibodies and prepare to protect you from exposure to influenza viruses.

When are playgrounds going to be re-opened?
Are you still offering bike helmets for sale during the SAH orders? We could use a bigger helmet if there's a way to purchase without contact. Thanks!
If we test positive for COVid-19 or we strongly suspect that we are sick, is the NSHD tracking cases and is it expected that citizens alert your office?
Today’s post regarding Covid-19 stated that “Wisconsin has 155 confirmed cases of Covid-19, with 62 being in Milwaukee County and a sizable number of these from communities in the North Shore area.” Can we find out the breakdown by each city? This is valuable information we need to know.
Today, Addiction Policy Forum is launching our new awareness campaign, “Vaping: Know the Facts” for teens, parents, and schools. Amidst all of the recent news about e-cigarettes, our in-depth toolkit simplifies the science and gives you the tools to address teen vaping.
