ARCHIVE - National Radon Action Month 2009

EPA invites you to provide feedback by May 4, 2009 regarding your participation in the 2009 National Radon Action Month.

Share the story behind the results you achieved in 2009 and provide feedback on how EPA can better assist you in 2010. Your feedback is important and easy to provide using the online feedback form. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Would it be possible for some of the collateral with National Radon Action Month stuff on it to be sent to schools next August or September, when it could be displayed in classrooms and raise awareness?

Also, the calendar should be re-thought. The font size of the dates is so small that it can barely be seen, at least by us old folks. The boxes for the dates are too small to be useful. One thought would be a slightly bigger sheet, but with only the school year on it, so there would be more room for the calendar. Then important dates could be included.

If you're in the DC area at the end of January, please consider attending.

Google news alerts are already showing lots of stories - one about high radon levels in NV has made it to MSNBC. And Real Simple magazine reminds people to check their homes for radon in January. http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/content/0,21770,1867107,00.html

If you don't know how to set up google news alert - its simple - just go to Google and click on news at the top of the screen - then go down the left hand margin and click on news alert.

Happy New Year!

Forward this invitation.

Join a Webinar with radon program leaders from NJ and IL to learn how they used existing resources to achieve some of their most ambitious program goals. Learn the strategies NJ and IL followed and how the Radon Change Package can help you adapt these strategies to work for your program.

It is time to place your order for free radon collateral to supplement your 2009 National Radon Action Month outreach activities and events. Orders will be processed by TV Access, a contractor of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Only requests from regional, state, local government radon contacts will be filled until December 17, 2008.

After that date, TV Access will begin filling orders received from other radon stakeholders while supplies last.
