The Alliance for Healthy
Homes (the Alliance) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH)
have posted fact sheets for residents returning to hurricane impact zones.
The fact sheets are designed for ease of use by journalists, community-based
organizations, property owners, emergency response personnel, and residents,
and serve as a complement to recovery tips and recommendations from the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
A top
ten list of quick tips to protect your family from housing-related
health hazards in hurricane impact zones is available here.

sheets are available in one document by clicking
