We will have materials available for distribution to the public to help educate everyone. At this point in time, here are the things we can anticipate. Please bear with me though - things can change very rapidly , as more information comes in. We will do our best to keep everyone informed. What follows is based on our previous experience, but this one may go differently, so bear that in mind as you inform others in your agency.
Aerial application is under consideration.
The purpose of the meeting will be to let citizens know what is going on, to explain about the Medfly, the economic impacts, the eradication processes, etc. We would like this meeting to occur before any aerial application. A command center will be set up as soon as possible. We'll let you know its location as soon as we get it. We will install hotline for information - set up fax machines, etc.
