Follow up to March 4 CDC/NPHIC Conference Call on Carbon Monoxide Messaging

Scott Damon, National Center for Environmental Health, discussed a new project for which he is seeking NPHIC’s help in working with CDC to plan communication response related to carbon monoxide poisoning. CO poisoning from alternative sources for heat and energy is one of the leading causes of death following natural disasters. Since Thursday’s call, members in New York and South Carolina have already volunteered to join the project team. Damon needs two to three more volunteers.

The group will meet by phone and email, with a goal of completing their work by October.
