• Description:
  This toolkit is designed to help guide health departments and other organizations, including community-based organizations, interested in holding a Zika community engagement event. Community engagement to reduce mosquito populations and protect against mosquito bites can help efforts to slow the spread of Zika virus infections (Zika) and other diseases spread by mosquitoes. Holding a successful community action event can inform and educate communities about Zika prevention behaviors, provide trustworthy and accurate information about Zika virus, and offer the necessary tools and resources for taking action to prevent mosquito-borne infections.
  
  An effective public health response involves the whole community, including the local health authority (typically the state or local health department) and, potentially, members of the private sector. Public-private partnerships may offer a good way to leverage the products and organizations that communities know and trust to promote important public health messages and inform health behaviors to slow the spread of Zika.
