A free Emergency Management Webinar for the NYC Home Care Sector-
This one hour session features practical information about H5N1 for home care workers in the field. Two distinguished guests will share their knowledge about the disease in animals, including birds common to New York City. You’ll also learn about potential human risks that aren’t often discussed, like backyard chicken coops. Speakers Kevin Hynes from the NYS Division of Fish and Wildlife, and Dr. Eireann Collins, Emergency Programs Coordinator for the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets Division of Animal Industry will explore the H5N1 threat through the lens of home and community life. Their unique fields of study ensure this will not be your average public health offering.
