Latex Allergy Information
Avoid contact with latex products.
Be evaluated by a physician experienced in diagnosing latex allergy.

What are some things I can do to protect myself if I am allergic to latex?

Avoid contact with natural rubber latex products.
If you have to wear gloves in your work, ask your employer for nonlatex gloves.
Avoid areas where you might inhale the powder from latex gloves worn by other workers.
Wear a personal medical emergency ID bracelet.
If prescribed by your physician, carry an emergency epinephrine kit in case you are accidentally exposed to latex and go into anaphylactic shock. Learn how to use it and make sure family members, friends and fellow employees know how to use it.
If you use latex-based products on the job, alert your employer about your allergy.
Before dental and medical procedures or examinations, alert health care providers about your allergy. Ask to be scheduled as the first patient in the morning to minimize your exposure to airborne latex particles.
Participate in educational and training programs regarding latex allergy.
If the allergy sufferer is a child, alert school and/or day care providers.
Work with your allergist, local hospital and medical facilities to find latex-safe environments where you can go for treatment.
Contact your local emergency responders (police, fire and ambulance service) to inform them of your condition so a plan of care can be developed before there is an actual emergency.

What are health care facilities doing to protect people with latex allergy?
Hospitals and health care facilities are beginning to create latex-safe treatment areas and surgical suites to accommodate people who are allergic to latex. Check with your local hospital. Some facilities have also set up systems for identification of staff and patients with latex allergy. In addition, many facilities have moved to low protein, powder-free or nonlatex gloves.

Sonoma County Leave No Trace Seven Principles
Don’t contribute to overflowing trash cans in parks. Take your garbage with you until you can dispose of it properly.
Take your raft or tube home with you. You brought it along — don’t leave it behind. When left onshore or in the water, rafts, tubes and other floats harm wildlife and the river ecosystem. 
Keep water clean. Soap, food, human or pet waste in lakes or streams causes harm to wildlife and contaminate waterways. Be at least 200 feet or 70 big steps away from all water sources when cleaning or using soap.
When you have to go, use restrooms or outhouses. Going to the bathroom off-trail or by the side of the road in a neighborhood may lead to area closures.
Pick up pet waste and dispose of it in a trash can. Compared to wildlife or grazing animals, pet waste contains harmful bacteria that cause human illness and contaminate the natural environment.
Pack out all fishing lines and hooks. Discarded fishing lines and hooks cause unnecessary harm to birds and other aquatic wildlife. An accidentally swallowed fishing hook can lead to suffering and death.
 

Leave It As You Find It

There are new things to discover and explore around every corner. Take pictures and make memories, but please don’t take natural items or leave your mark on rocks and trees. Combined small actions add up, and can have lasting impacts on the wildlife and environment.

Leave sea stars, shells, rocks, and wildflowers as you find them so others can also experience the thrill of discovery. A photograph makes for a much better keepsake – and preserves these natural treasures for everyone to enjoy.
Treat wildflowers and other living plants with respect. Picking, carving, hacking or peeling plants and trees can harm or kill them.
Leave gates as you find them. Many of Sonoma County’s open spaces are used for grazing animals like sheep, cattle and goats. Keep gates open when already open, and closed when already closed. Intentionally tampering with grazing fences can result in harm to people and animals.

Living the Green Life - NYSDEC
Avoid disposable paper and plastic products - and don't forget to set aside beverage containers for return to get your deposits back. Plastic bottles can become clothes, furniture, fencing, and new plastic items - such as bottles and storage containers. Returned aluminum cans can become new cans, gutters, or even car bodies. Aluminum can be recycled repeatedly - helping to save resources and the environment. Yard sale season—spring is here and that means yard sales. Have items you are looking to get rid of - which still may be useful to others? Then consider having a yard sale. Also, if you have friends and neighbors who are also looking to sell - consider a multi-family or community wide sale as those typically bring in more shoppers. In need of items yourself? Before buying new, look to see if you can find those items at a yard sale. If you conduct a sale and have items left over - remember to donate them to a local charity or thrift store instead of discarding the items in the trash. Reuse and repurpose wherever possible. Another plus - having a yard sale can bring in some money, and shopping at yard sales can result in financial savings. Either way, reusing helps our environment. Spring cleanup—raking, mowing, tending to trees and bushes are all ways we clean up in the spring from winter's remnants. Retain clippings and mulched leaves on the lawn-these are natural fertilizers and can help your lawn stay healthy. Setting the mower height at 3.5 inches for taller grass can make your lawn healthier and more drought resistant. Remember not to burn brush—keep our air clean. Many local communities offer curbside pick-up where lawn debris is often composted. Speaking of clean-ups on a larger scale, DEC oversees environmental cleanups year-round of contaminated areas throughout our state as part of the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP). Interested in learning more? Check out the BCP program information on the DEC website for local clean-up community updates, fact sheets, and more. Happy camper—looking to pitch a tent and enjoy camping in the great outdoors this spring/summer?

Keep your electricity usage as low as possible, which can help power companies avoid imposing rolling blackouts during periods when the power grid is compromised.Follow the Emergency Alert System (EAS) instructions.Disconnect electrical appliances if instructed to do so by local officials.Do not use the telephone unless absolutely necessary. Keep phone lines open for emergency personnel during emergency situations.

After a Space Weather Occurrence
Throw out unsafe food:

Image
 

Throw away any food that has been exposed to a temperature of 40° F (4° C) or higher for two hours or more, or that has an unusual odor, color or texture. When in doubt, throw it out!Never taste food or rely on appearance or odor to determine its safety. Some foods may look and smell fine, but if they have been at room temperature too long, bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses can start growing quickly. Some types of bacteria produce toxins that cannot be destroyed by cooking.You can refreeze food in the freezer if the food is colder than 40° F and has ice crystals on it.Measure the food’s temperature with a food thermometer if you are not sure that it is cold enough.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Triage of Suspected COVID-19 Patients in non-US Healthcare Settings: Early Identification and Prevention of Transmission during Triage | CDC
**defined as patients at high risk for having COVID-19 based on clinical and epidemiologic criteria (e.g., travel history or exposure to someone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19). Definition may change depending on where countries or regions within countries are in the stage of outbreak (e.g. no or limited vs. widespread community transmission).   
3. What healthcare workers (HCWs) can do to protect themselves and their patients during triage

HCW should get vaccinated and continue to follow IPC measures6 described here.
All HCWs should adhere to Standard Precautions, which include hand hygiene, selection of PPE based on risk assessment, respiratory hygiene, cleaning and disinfection and injection safety practices.
All HCWs should be trained on and familiar with infection prevention and control (IPC) precautions (e.g. contact and droplet precautions, appropriate hand hygiene, donning and doffing of PPE) related to COVID-19.

Follow appropriate PPE donning and doffing steps [2.92 MB, 3 Pages].
Perform frequent hand hygiene with an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty or with soap and water if hands are dirty.

HCWs who come in contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients should wear appropriate PPE:

HCWs in triage areas who are conducting preliminary screening do not require PPE if they DO NOT have direct contact with the patient and MAINTAIN distance of at least one meter based on WHO recommendations (CDC recommends 6 feet or 1.8 meters). However, in areas of known or suspected community SARS-CoV-2 transmission, all HCWs should wear masks regardless of vaccination status for source control.
Examples of when PPE is not necessary:

HCWs at the registration desk that are asking limited questions based on triage protocol. Installation of physical barriers (e.g., glass or plastic screens) are encouraged if possible.
