Hispanic Heritage Month recognizes and celebrates the contributions Americans tracing their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South American and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean have made to American society and culture.

Every year from September 15 to October 15, we celebrate the varied contributions of Latinx and Hispanic individuals to the United States. This nation was built on the ingenuity and the infusion of new blood that immigrants bring with them from all corners of the world. As the political climate changes, there appears to be less tolerance toward other cultures in our na-tion. We firmly believe that the dream of our forefathers is still alive and well in these tumul-tuous times in these United States of America and that no fringe groups will sow chaos in this cherished tradition of tolerance. Let us welcome our friends of neighbors of Hispanic/Latino heritage and celebrate our diversity one more time during Hispanic Heritage Month!

El Mes de la Herencia Hispana reconoce y celebra las contribuciones que los estadounidenses que tienen sus raíces en España, México, América Central, América del Sur y las naciones de habla hispana del Caribe han hecho a la sociedad y la cultura estadounidenses.

Cada año, del 15 de Septiembre al 15 de Octubre, celebramos las variadas contribuciones de latinos e hispanos a los Estados Unidos. Esta nación se construyó sobre la base del ingenio y la infusión de sangre nueva que los inmigrantes traen consigo de todos los rincones del mundo. A medida que cambia el clima político, parece haber menos tolerancia hacia otras culturas en nuestra nación. Creemos firmemente que el sueño de nuestros antepasados sigue vivo y coleando en estos tiempos tumultuosos en estos Estados Unidos de América y que ningún grupo marginal sembrará el caos en esta preciada tradición de tolerancia. ¡Démosle la bienvenida a nuestros amigos de vecinos de origen hispano / latino y celebremos nuestra diversidad una vez más durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Tree City Recognition Reconocimiento de Tree City USA

Brentwood, MD was named a 2018 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective ur-ban forest management. We achieved the Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day Ob-servance and proclamation.

“Tree City USA communities see the im-pact an urban forest has in a community

first hand,” said Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Additionally, recognition brings resi-dents together and creates a sense of community pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”

Trees provide multiple benefits to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollut-ants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.

More information on the program is available at arbor-day.org/TreeCityUSA.About the Arbor Day Foundation: The Arbor Day Foundation is a million member nonprofit conserva-tion and education organization with the mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. More information is available at arborday.org.

Brentwood, MD fue nombrado Tree City USA 2018 por la Fundacion Arbor Day en honor a su compro-miso con la gestión efectiva de los bosques urbanos. Brentwood logró el reconocimiento de Tree City USA al cumplir con los cuatro requisitos del programa: una junta o departamento de árboles, una ordenanza de cuidado de árboles, un presupuesto forestal anual de la comunidad de al menos $2 per cápita y una procla-mación y observancia del Día del Arbor.

“Las comunidades de Tree City USA ven el impacto que un bosque urbano tiene en una comunidad de primera mano”, dijo Dan Lambe, presidente de Arbor Day Foundation. “Además, el reconocimiento reúne a los residentes y crea un sentido de orgullo comunitario, ya sea a través de la participación de voluntarios o la educación pública”.

Los árboles proporcionan múltiples beneficios a una comunidad cuando se plantan y mantienen adecua-damente. Ayudan a mejorar el atractivo visual de un vecindario, aumentar los valores de la propiedad, re-ducir los costos de enfriamiento del hogar, eliminar los contaminantes del aire y proporcionar hábitat de vida silvestre, entre muchos otros beneficios. Más información sobre el programa está disponible en arborday.org/TreeCityUSA.

NATURE NOTES NATURE NOTES NATURALEZA Y PAISAJESby CM Burgess

Some of you may recall that scamp of a possum called Gus that roams our Town doing good deeds (such as reducing ticks). Gus has been a staple in Brentwood for some time, but now it appears that he has a new wondering compan-ion that some call Kit Vixen. Kit is a red fox and female red foxes are referred to as vixens and a vixen’s offspring are called kits. In folklore, foxes are typically characterized as cunning creatures sometimes having magical powers. I don’t think there is anything magical about Kit but between Gus and Kit a lot of invertebrates and pests are being eat-en. A large part of the red fox’s diet is made up of inverte-brates such as worms, crickets and beetles and, of course, small mammals such as mice, squirrels and the occasional muskrat. Frankly, these super adaptable critters will even munch on a bagel or slice of pizza. Given their diet, foxes can help control pest problems. But you will need to look fast and at night to generally see these nocturnal species which are very fast running up to 45 mph. But where did Kit and other foxes come from? Contrary to some tales, the red fox is native to our region. Genetic analysis suggests that foxes first migrated to North America during a former glaciation 300,000 to 130,000 years ago and spread south-ward. However, more recent fox migration to urban areas is due to land use change. The fox is a ‘synanthropic species’ which means they live near humans and directly benefit from human-altered environments like gardens, garbage dumps, and farms. Such areas provide critical resources such as cover (think sheds, under porches, barns), and food (for example, bird feeders, our garbage, the rodents attracted to our garbage, and non-native garden plants that provide fruit year- round). The fox named Kit that I have seen around Town is ador-able, but like all wild animals – deserve our respect and distance. If you know or have heard of any fun or unusual animal stories, please write me, and I will gladly share these sto-ries or photos in future columns.

Texto por Concejal Burgess

Algunos de ustedes recordarán a ese bicho la zarigüeya llamada Gus que deambula por nuestro muncipio haciendo buenas obras (como reducir las garrapatas). Gus ha sido un personaje fundamental en Brentwood durante mucho tiempo, pero ahora parece que tiene una nueva compañera que algunos llaman Kit Vixen. Kit es una zorra colorada y las hembras se denominan vixen en inglés y las crías de las zorras se denominan kits. En el folclor, los zorros son típicamente caracterizados como criaturas astutas que a veces tienen poderes mágicos. No creo que haya nada mágico en Kit, pero entre Gus y Kit se están comiendo muchos invertebrados y plagas. Una gran parte de la die-ta del zorro rojo está compuesta por invertebrados como gusanos, grillos y escarabajos y, por supuesto, pequeños mamíferos como ratones, ardillas y, ocasionalmente, ratas almizcleras. La verdad es que estos bichos súper adapt-ables incluso comen un panecillo o una rebanada de pizza. Dada su dieta, los zorros pueden ayudar a controlar los problemas de plagas. Pero usted necesitará mirar rápido y por la noche en general para ver estas especies nocturnas que son muy rápidas y llegan a correr a 45 mph. ¿Pero de dónde salieron Kit y otros zorros? Al contrario de lo que se cuenta, el zorro rojo es originario de nuestra región. El análisis genético sugiere que los zorros emigraron por pri-mera vez a Norteamérica durante una antigua glaciación hace 300.000 a 130.000 años y se desplazaron hacia el sur. Sin embargo, la migración más reciente de zorros a las zonas urbanas se debe al cambio en el uso de la tierra. El zorro es una 'especie sinantrópica', lo que significa que vive cerca de los humanos y se beneficia directamente de los ambientes alterados por el hombre, como jardines, ba-

sureros y granjas. Tales zonas ofrecen recursos vitales como cobertizos (por ejemplo, galpones, patios, graneros) y alimentos (por ejemplo, alimentado-res para pájaros, nuestra basura, los roedores atraídos por nuestra basura y las plantas de jardín no autóctonas que dan frutos durante todo el año). La zorra llamada Kit que he visto por toda la ciudad es adorable, pero como todos los animales salvajes, merece nuestro respeto y distancia. Si usted sabe o ha oído hablar de alguna historia divertida o inusual de animales, por favor escríbame, y con gusto compartiré estas historias o fotos en futuras columnas.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE MENSAJE DE LA ALCALDESA

Mayor and Council and staff have been handing out food for the past 19 weeks during the pandem-ic. Thanks to the contribution of the churches and the help of our County executive and its initiative the hot meals for the seniors, 60-80 seniors have been receiving meals.

Every week the Brentwood Chief of Police has dis-tributed 200 boxes of fruits and veggies. And milk was also distributed when we were able to get our hands on it. And we have received many canned good dona-tions on Mondays from our concerned residents as well as monetary donations from other generous residents.

Vice- Mayor through the Faith committee have partnered with Delegate Dianne Fernell and Sha-bach Ministries to have food every week. She has also worked with CM Tarr to distribute diapers to families on Saturdays to our families with little ones.

I have worked out a partnership with 4MyCity or-ganizations and Jehova Nissi Church to serve more fruits and veggies for more families in our commu-nity and its neighbors.

CM Tarr worked tirelessly making sure we have face mask for our children, which were given to students during school supplies giveaways.

Thank you to everyone for stepping up in these times of need with all your help and support we can assist those residents affected.

La alcaldesa, el Concejo y el personal han estado repartiendo alimentos durante las últimas 19 sem-anas durante la pandemia. Gracias a la contribu-ción de las iglesias y la ayuda de nuestro Condado ejecutivo y su iniciativa de comidas calientes para las personas mayores, 60-80 personas mayores han estado recibiendo comidas.

Cada semana, el Jefe de Policía de Brentwood ha distribuido 200 cajas de frutas y verduras. También se distribuyó Leche y pan cuando pudimos conse-guirlo.Tambien hemos recibido muchas donaciones enlatadas los lunes de nuestros residentes preocu-pados, así como donaciones monetarias de otros residentes generosos.

El vicealcalde a través del comité Faith se ha aso-ciado con la delegada Dianne Fernell y Shabach Ministries para tener comida todas las semanas. También ha trabajado con CM Tarr para distribuir pañales a las familias los sábados a nuestras familias con los más pequeños.

He trabajado en una asociación con las organi-zaciones 4MyCity y la Iglesia Jehova Nissi para obtener y servir más frutas y verduras para las familias en nuestra comunidad y sus vecinos.

CM Tarr trabajó incansablemente asegurándose de que tuviéramos mascarillas para nuestros hijos, que se les dio a los estudiantes durante los sorteos de útiles escolares.

El año pasado el municipio vendía trampas de mosquitos ecológicas a todos los residentes que querían comprarlas. A causa de la estación especialmente lluviosa y el aumento previsto de la población de mosquitos, las trampas están pendientes de entrega hasta agosto. Notificaremos a todos los residentes cuando estén disponibles. Algunos otros remedios naturales para combatir incluyen la siembra de plantas y hierbas que repelen a los mosquitos como el li-moncillo, la hierbabuena y la lavanda. Como de costumbre, tenga cuidado con el agua estancada en sus patios. Las hembras de los mosquitos pueden poner huevos en tan sólo unas cucharadas de agua.

Smoke Alarmsat Homeat Home

Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarmS are a key partof a home fire escape plan. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly.

• A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.

• Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level. Smoke alarms should be connected so when one sounds, they all sound. Most homes do not have this level of protection.

• Roughly 3 out of 5 fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

FACTS

!

!

!

SAFETY TIPS • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom. They should

also be outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement.

• Large homes may need extra smoke alarms.

• It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.

• Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.

• Current alarms on the market employ different types of technology including multi-sensing, which could include smoke and carbon monoxide combined.

• Today’s smoke alarms will be more technologically advanced to respond to a multitude of fire conditions, yet mitigate false alarms.

• A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove.

• People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights

and bed shakers.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

The Brentwood Police Department proudly announces the promotion of Andre Dent to Patrol Officer First Class (PFC). PFC Dent’s has served the Town with his loyalty and devotion to community policing.

Summer is almost over! Well-maintained homes are an essential component to keeping the Town of Brentwood looking good. Preserving housing stock, maintaining property values, and ensuring properties are healthy and safe benefit not only individual property owners and tenants, but also the Town of Brentwood at large. Due to the heavy rainfall and warm weather, grass and vegetation are growing very fast this summer. Please pay close attention to this and remember to cut weeds along fence lines. Reminder: Do not blow cut grass into the street, this clogs the storm drains and helps create flooding.

¡El verano casi termina! Las casas bien mantenidas son un componente esencial para que la ciudad de Brentwood se vea bien. Preservar las existencias de viviendas, mantener los valores de las propiedades y garantizar que las propiedades sean saludables y seguras beneficia no solo a los propietarios e in-quilinos individuales, sino también a la ciudad de Brentwood en general. Debido a las fuertes lluvias y al clima cálido, la hierba y la vegetación están creciendo muy rápido este verano. Preste mucha atención a esto y recuerde cortar las malas hierbas a lo largo de las cercas. Recordatorio: No sople el césped cortado en la calle, esto obstruye los de-sagües pluviales y ayuda a crear inundaciones.

El Departamento de Policía de Brentwood anuncia con orgullo la promoción de Andre Dent a Oficial de Patrulla de Primera Clase (PFC). PFC Dent ha servido a la ciudad con su lealtad y devoción a la policía comu-nitaria.

Recently a Brentwood Resident was contacted by a scammer posing as a consultant, working with the Bank of Merrick to consolidate their credit card bills to one low interest rate from Discover. The resident noted on his caller ID that the numbered called reflected Merrick Bank on his phone, at which time they answer the telephone. The caller, who had an Indian accent in their speech, provided the resident with all his credit card numbers, his social security number and other valuable infor-mation. Initially the resident thought there was some credibility to the phone call, especially since they had all their personal information. The resi-dent asked for them to call back later. The scammer re-contacted the resident and informed them that Discover would accept their debt and consolidated all their credit cards to their company with a low interest rate. The resident started to question the legitimacy of this offer and informed the scammer he would like to speak with a representative of Discover. The scammer said he could do that, and they could have 3-way conversation. The scammer then contacted the 3rd party who immediately joined into the conversation claiming they were with Discover. The resident became suspicious and terminated the call. The resident contact Discover and Merrick Bank and was advised by both that the caller was committing fraud.

If you had something similar that occurred to you please contact the Federal Trade Commission and file complaint at ftc.gov/complaint

Submitted by Chief Althoff

Recientemente, un estafador se puso en contacto con un residente de Brentwood que se hacía pas-ar por consultor, trabajando con el Banco Mer-rick para consolidar las facturas de sus tarjetas de crédito a una tasa de interés baja con Discover. El residente anotó en su identificador de llamadas que la llamada numerada reflejaba Merrick Bank en su teléfono, cuando contestaron el teléfono. La perso-na que llamó, que tenía acento indio en su discurso, proporcionó al residente todos los números de su tarjeta de crédito, su número de seguro social y otra información valiosa. Inicialmente, el residente pensó que había cierta credibilidad en la llamada telefónica, especialmente porque tenían toda su información personal. El residente les pidió que volvieran a llamar más tarde. El estafador se volvió a contactar con el residente y les informó que Discover aceptaría su deuda y consolidaría todas sus tarjetas de crédito a su empresa con una tasa de interés baja. El residente comenzó a cuestionar la legitimidad de esta oferta e informó al estafador que le gustaría hablar con un representante de Discover. El estafador dijo que podía hacer eso y que podrían tener una conversación a tres bandas. Luego, el estafador se comunicó con el tercero que se unió inmediatamente a la conversación alegan-do que estaba con Discover. El residente comenzó a sospechar y terminó la llamada. El residente se comunicó con Discover y Merrick Bank y ambos le informaron que la persona que llamo estaba come-tiendo fraude.

Si se le ocurrió algo similar, comuníquese con la Comisión Federal de Comercio y presente una que-ja en ftc.gov/complaint

They have been around for a couple of decades in every county in Maryland and have even settled into Rock Creek National Park. They are coyotes. Coyotes are not native to our area but due to land use change, deforestation and fragmentation com-bined with the loss of their natural predators, they have migrated from the Midwest and have set-tled into the area. It is possible that you and your neighbors have heard their unmistakable howls and yips and rumors abound that these varmints are in our area. Coyotes and Red Foxes are similar, and both help keep down rodent populations and ticks. However, coyotes are larger tending to weigh in around 30 pounds or more. They prefer to be away from people generally eating small mammals and songbirds for a tasty supper. Seeing a coyote in our neighborhood is no cause for alarm as they tend to have large ranges and are just likely passing through. However, as their numbers grow so does their predation and it is a good idea to keep an eye on any small pets in your backyard. They are crepuscular and do not like to interact with humans - usually running away with a shout. One of the best ways to discourage these varmint interlopers is to simply not give them a free and easy dinner snack. Minimizing food around the outside of your home such as open bird seed, trash, and leftover pet food is your best option to keep them out of your neighborhood. If you do see one and are concerned, consider calling Maryland’s Nuisance Wildlife Information Line at 877.463.6497

¿Aullidos espeluznantes de Halloween o alimañas visitantes?

Han existido durante un par de décadas en todos los condados de Maryland e incluso se han esta-blecido en el Parque Nacional Rock Creek. Son coyotes. Los coyotes no son nativos de nuestra área, pero debido al cambio de uso de la tierra, la deforestación y la fragmentación combinados con la pérdida de sus depredadores naturales, han migrado desde el Medio Oeste y se han asentado en el área. Es posible que usted y sus vecinos hayan escuchado sus inconfundibles aullidos y aullidos y abundan los rumores de que estos bichos están en nuestra área. Los coyotes y los zorros rojos son similares y ambos ayudan a reducir las poblaciones de roedores y garrapatas. Sin embargo, los coyotes son más grandes y tienden a pesar alrededor de 30 libras o más. Prefieren estar lejos de las personas que generalmente comen pequeños mamíferos y pájaros cantores para disfrutar de una deliciosa cena. Ver un coyote en nuestro vecindario no es motivo de alarma, ya que tienden a tener grandes rangos y es probable que estén de paso. Sin em-bargo, a medida que aumenta su número, también lo hace su depredación y es una buena idea vigilar cualquier mascota pequeña en su patio trasero. Son crepusculares y no les gusta interactuar con los humanos, generalmente huyen con un grito. Una de las mejores formas de disuadir a estos intrusos es simplemente no darles una merienda fácil y gratuita para la cena. Minimizar la comida alrede-dor del exterior de su casa, como alpiste, basura y restos de comida para mascotas, es su mejor opción para mantenerlos fuera de su vecindario. Si ve uno y está preocupado, considere llamar a la Línea de Información de Vida Silvestre Molesta de Maryland al 877.463.6497.

What? Flooding is a temporary overflowing of

water onto land that is normally dry. Flooding

may happen with only a few inches of water or

it may cover a house to the rooftop. There are

many possible causes of floods; including heavy

rain or snowmelt, coastal storms and storm

surges, waterway overflow from being blocked

with debris or ice, or overflow of levees, dams, or

waste water systems. Flooding can occur slowly

over many days or happen very quickly with

little or no warning, called flash floods.

Bring in outdoor furniture and move important

indoor items to the highest possible floor. This

will help protect them from flood damage.

Disconnect electrical appliances and do not

touch electrical equipment if you are wet or

standing in water. You could be electrocuted.

If instructed, turn off your gas and electricity at

the main switch or valve. This helps prevent fires

and explosions.

Reduce flood risk inside and outside of your

home by maintaining gutters and roof, checking

periodically for leaks, and landscaping your

property to include plenty of drainage away

from the home.

Prepare Your Home

Move immediately to higher ground or stay

on high ground. Get out of areas subject to

flooding.

If directed, evacuate. Avoid walking or

driving through flood waters. Turn Around,

Don’t Drown®! Just 6 inches of moving water

can knock you down and one foot of moving

water can sweep your vehicle away.

Avoid areas already flooded, especially if the

water is flowing fast. Do not attempt to cross

flowing streams.

Road beds may be washed out under flood

waters. NEVER drive through flooded

roadways.

Be especially cautious at night when it is

harder to recognize flood dangers.

Steps to Take:

Floods are both very common and dangerous.

They can occur because of short prolonged

periods of rain, tropical storms and hurricanes,

or dam breaches. It is important to take pre-

cautions before a flood happens. Some floods

can develop slowly while flash floods can

develop in just a few minutes.

When? Flooding can occur during every season,

but some areas of the country are at greater risk

at certain times of the year. Coastal areas are at

greater risk for flooding during hurricane season

(i.e., June to November), while the Midwest is

more at risk in the spring and during heavy

summer rains. Ice jams occur in the spring in

the Northeast and Northwest. Even the deserts

of the Southwest are at risk during the late

summer monsoon season.

Monitor local radar, television, weather radio,

preparedness apps, internet, or social media.

You will receive the latest weather updates

and emergency instructions.

Know where to go. You may need to reach

higher ground quickly and on foot. Have a

family emergency plan ready.

Build or restock your emergency kit. Include a

flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.

Check your emergency kit regularly.

Sign up for Alert Prince George's(http://alert.mypgc.us) to get updates directly

to your cell phone or email.

Steps to Take:

Return home only when authorities say it is

safe.

Be aware of areas where floodwaters have

receded and watch out for debris. Floodwaters

often erode roads and walkways.

Do not attempt to drive through areas that are

still flooded.

Avoid standing water as it may be electrically

charged from underground or downed power

lines.

Photograph damage to your property for

insurance purposes.

When returning to your home after a hurricane

or flood, be aware that flood water may contain

sewage. To learn about protecting yourself and

your family when returning to your home,

visit the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) website on flood water after a

disaster or emergency.

Where? Flooding can happen in any U.S. state

or territory. It is particularly important to be

prepared for flooding if you live in an area with a

history of flooding or in a low-lying area near a

body of water, such as near a river, stream, or

culvert; along a coast; or downstream from a

dam or levee.

HOMEOWNER’S AND RENTER’S GUIDE TO MOLD CLEANUP AFTER DISASTERS

Cleaning up after a flood can pose health risks. You and your family should wait to re-enter your home until professionals tell you it is safe, with no structural, electrical or other hazards.

Before you start cleanup activities, contact your insurance company and take pictures of the home and your belongings. Remember – drying your home and removing water-damaged items is your most important step for preventing mold damage.

IS THERE A PROBLEM? Was your home flooded? If so, and you were not able to dry your home (including furniture and other items) within 24-48 hours, you should assume you have mold growth. You need to completely dry everything, clean up the mold, and make sure you don’t still have a moisture problem.

You may see or smell mold on clothing, drywall, furniture, cardboard boxes, or books, but it may also be hidden under or behind items like carpet, cushions, or walls.

MOLD BASICS: HOW MOLDS CAN AFFECT YOUR HEALTH Exposure to mold can lead to asthma attacks, eye and skin irritation, and allergic reactions. It can lead to

KEY MESSAGES • Wear personal protective equipment. Wear

an N-95 respirator at a minimum, goggles, and protective gloves.

• Use portable generators carefully, outside and away from the home, to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning and fires.

• Ensure the mold cleanup is complete before reoccupying your home.

severe infections in people with weakened immune systems. Avoid contaminated buildings and contaminated water as much as you can.

Flood water may have carried sewage or chemicals into your home. This could expose you or your family to viruses, bacteria, disease carriers (such as mosquitos), and parasites, as well as mold. To learn more about cleaning and disinfection go to: www.cdc.gov/healthywater/emergency/flood/ standing.html

You can protect yourself and your family from mold exposure by following these steps.

BEFORE YOU ENTER ANY MOLDY SITE: • Protect yourself and loved ones against hazards. People with breathing problems like asthma or who have

weakened immune systems should stay away from moldy sites. Children should not take part in disaster cleanup work. Check for loose power lines or gas leaks. Make sure the electricity and gas are turned off. Look for sagging ceilings or floors or other structural problems. Watch out for wet, muddy, or slippery floors.

• Protect your mouth and nose against breathing in mold: wear at least an N-95 respirator. If you plan to spend a lot of time removing moldy belongings or doing work like ripping out moldy drywall, wear a half-face or full-face respirator. Basic information on using it is in OSHA’s general respiratory protection guidance.

• Protect your skin. Wear protective gloves (non-latex, vinyl, nitrile, or rubber). Do not touch mold or moldy items with bare hands.

• Protect your eyes. Wear goggles that provide complete eye protection. Choose goggles designed to keep out dust and small particles. Safety glasses or goggles that have open vent holes will not protect you against dust and small particles.

AFTER YOU LEAVE A MOLD SITE: • Protect yourself and loved ones. Shower and change

your clothes. This will help you avoid carrying mold and other hazards back to your current living quarters.

SHOULD I DO THIS MYSELF? This job may be too difficult or dangerous for you. It may be best to get help from experienced and qualified professionals if you can. Hire a mold inspection or remediation professional affiliated with or certified by the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), the Institute of

Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), or American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC) to inspect, repair, and restore the damaged parts of your home. Your state also may regulate mold remediation.

Sampling for mold is not usually recommended. Understanding the results can be difficult, and no matter what kind of mold is in your home, you need to clean it up and fix the moisture problem.

IF I MUST DO THIS MYSELF, HOW CAN I DO IT SAFELY? Follow these steps: 1. Put on the personal protective equipment described above to protect your eyes, nose, mouth, and skin.2. Remove standing water and wet materials. Use a wet vacuum to remove water from floors, carpets, and

hard surfaces. Dry your home and everything in it as quickly as you can – within 24 to 48 hours if you can.3. Open all doors and windows when you are working and leave as many open as is safe when you leave.

o Open inside doors, especially closets and interior rooms, to let air flow to all areas. Take doors off theirhinges if you need to.

o Open kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanity doors; remove drawers, wipe them clean, and stack themto dry.

o Open the attic access to let air flow to the attic. Before you open the attic door, make sure nothing willfall on you.

4. When electricity is safe to use, use fans and dehumidifiers to remove moisture. Do not use fans if mold hasalready started to grow, because the fans may spread the mold.

5. Clean with water and a detergent. Remove all mold you can see. Dry right away.6. If you use cleaning products, do not mix cleaning products together. DO NOT mix bleach and ammonia

because it can create toxic vapors.7. Painting or caulking over mold will not prevent mold from growing. Fix the water problem completely and

clean up all the mold before you paint or caulk.8. Throw away items that can’t be cleaned and dried. Throw away anything that was wet with flood water and

can’t be cleaned and dried completely within 24 to 48 hours. If you have precious items that you want to preserve, follow these guidelines from the Smithsonian Institute: https://www.si.edu/mci/english/learn_more/taking_care/mnm.html

HOMEOWNER’S AND RENTER’S GUIDE TO MOLD CLEANUP AFTER DISASTERS 3

SAFETY TIPS ON USING PORTABLE GENERATORS If you use a portable generator for electricity use CAUTION to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning and fires. • Use portable generators OUTSIDE and at least 20 feet away from buildings. • Do not use portable generators inside your house or garage. • Do not put portable generators on balconies or near doors, vents, or windows. • Do not use portable generators near where you or your children are sleeping. • Never refuel a generator while it is hot. • For more information, go to: www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_Hurricane_Facts/portable_generator_safety.pdf

AM I DONE? • If you still see or smell mold, you have more work to do. After a remediation, there should be no signs of

water damage or mold growth. • You may need to ask a mold remediation professional to know whether your mold problem is completely

fixed. As noted in the “Should I do this myself?” section, sampling for mold is not usually recommended; instead, a careful inspection of the work area for completion of the cleanup and absence of mold-related odors is usually appropriate.

• If you have health problems that get worse when you return home, like asthma or allergy attacks or skin or eye irritation, you may still have some mold.

Actions

If the inside of your home is covered with debris and thick mud and dirt is on the floor and on the walls you must first remove all of that mud and dirt. Bleach, soap-- or any other product—cannot effectively clean up mold if you do not remove the mud and dirt first.

If your home has moderate mold damage, follow these steps to clean up your home:

If the inside of your home has only a little mold and minor water damage you may not need to use bleach.

Remove all moldy, water-damaged items from inside your home.

Dig out mud and dirt.

Use a wet vacuum to remove remaining dirt.

Scrub cleanable surfaces (such as wood, tile, stone) with soapy water and a bristle brush.

Thoroughly clean all hard surfaces (such as flooring, molding, wood and metal furniture, countertops, and sinks) with water and dish detergent.

Use a bleach solution of no more than 1 cup (8 ounces) household laundry bleach per 1 gallon of water to kill mold on surfaces.

Dry surfaces quickly and thoroughly after cleaning. If you have a fan, air conditioner or dehumidifier that wasn’t affected by flooding use it to help the surfaces dry after you finish cleaning.

CS295513-A August 31, 2018

Mold Clean-Up After Disasters: When to Use BleachAfter a hurricane, flood or other major storm, “green” products can be difficult to find. Bleach and dish detergent might be the only things available in your area. Bleach and dish detergent, common household items, can be used to clean mold in your home after a storm. The steps to take to clean up mold will depend on how much water damage your home suffered. Moderate

mold damage

Important safety reminders:

Wear personal protective equipment. Wear at least an N-95 respirator, goggles, and protective gloves.

Open windows or doors when using any cleaning products.

Never mix bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.

Children should not be involved in disaster clean-up.

Have your home heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system (HVAC) checked and cleaned by a service professional experienced in mold clean-up before you turn it on. If the system was flooded with water, turning it on will spread mold throughout the house.
