This webinar provided a brief overview of Ohio EPA’s Mosquito Control Grant (MCG) and information on how to apply for the upcoming grant cycle. Mosquito control grants are available annually to health departments or other governmental organizations to aid with mosquito surveillance, control, source reduction, and community outreach. The MCG program was developed to make funding available to entities responsible for implementing mosquito control measures in support of Ohio’s efforts to reduce the potential for an outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases. The fundable activities approved under the MCG program will help reduce the potential for an outbreak of a mosquito-borne virus and simultaneously reduce the threat that scrap tires and scrap tire dumps pose to human health and the environment. Local health departments (LHDs) implement various programs to protect human health, safety, and the environment. LHDs are on the front lines in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases. The MCG program makes grant monies available to any agency of the state, if that agency can demonstrate collaboration and obtain sponsorship from its LHD.
