9.1. Food Safety and Foodborne Illness
Who controls the response to foodborne disease outbreaks? What are some of the local, state,
and federal agencies that help protect our food? How do they accomplish this task? Select an
incident within the past couple of years that created a public health outbreak.
Describe the response. What went right? What worked less than optimally? What agencies
and organizations participated? Who was “in charge”?
Compare your research with the 1984 outbreak of salmonella in The Dalles, Oregon or the
2008 salsa salmonella outbreak.
9.2. Preparedness
Based on what you have learned, how would you assess the nation’s preparedness posture?
What would you recommend? Why is this such a problem? Cite the incident and evidence
for your recommendations.
9.3. Water & Waste Water
Think about water. Think about how it is tied in with waste and vector borne diseases.
Humans have been using water as a way for disposing waste for centuries! Vector-borne
diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 1 million
deaths annually. We take water so much for granted yet it is many times the source of many
public health issues. Give an example of why we need to be concerned with vector-borne
diseases and what progress we are making (or not.)
9.4. Water
Watch this video: The Future of Water (10:10). Identify and present a summary of a water
crisis in the United States (but not Flint, MI). You may consider Milwaukie in 1993 or
present day California.
9.5 Vector Control
When Zika was detected there in 2016, Florida health officials began spraying and fogging to
control the Aedes aegypti population. This prompted protests against the use of toxic
chemicals in the environment. The Speaker of the Florida state House of Representatives has
asked for your recommendation in whether to support or oppose future pesticide use. What
will you tell him? Why?
