LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office/County Office of Emergency Services said it still has a limited number of weather radios available to Valley fire area residents.
Undersheriff Chris Macedo said there are approximately 20 of the Midland WR120 Desktop Weather Alert Radios left.
A total of 333 of the radios has been purchased earlier this year thanks to a $10,000 grant to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services from State Farm, as Lake County News has reported.
If a resident who lives in the footprint of the Valley fire would like to receive a NOAA Weather Radio, Macedo said they may pick one up at the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, located at 1220 Martin St. in Lakeport.
In order to receive one of the radios, individuals must meet the criteria below and bring proof of residency to the sheriff’s office. Only one radio per residence will be given away. These radios are free of charge.
The following criteria were established in order to be eligible for the radios:
– Must currently be residing in the footprint of the Valley fire.
– Must provide proof of residency by showing either a valid California Driver’s License or California Identification Card that lists the physical address or utility bill such as a water, phone cable, PG&E that has the service (home) address listed.
– Post office box addresses are insufficient and will not be accepted as proof of residency.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reported that two infants with Zika-related microcephaly have been born in California to women who had Zika virus infections during pregnancy after spending time in a country where the virus is endemic.
While mosquitoes that can carry the virus have been found in 12 California counties, there is no evidence these mosquitoes are transmitting Zika in the state at this time.
Lake County is not among the counties where the mosquitoes have been found, according to CDPH monitoring records. The 12 counties are Alameda, Fresno, Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Madera, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo and Tulare.
“This is a sobering reminder for Californians that Zika can cause serious harm to a developing fetus,” said CDPH Director and State Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith. “We join the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in urging pregnant women to avoid travel to areas with known Zika transmission. Pregnant women who must travel to one of these areas should strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites and speak with a health care provider upon return.”
Smith added, “Zika virus can also be transmitted to sexual partners by both males and females. Both men and women of childbearing age should take precautions if they have recently traveled, or plan to travel, to a location where Zika is spreading.”
A team of experts across several disciplines at CDPH is working closely with local public health departments, vector control agencies and the medical community to ensure that California is responding aggressively and appropriately to the emerging threat of Zika virus.
CDPH is actively monitoring all pregnant women with Zika infection in California. The Department is also collaborating with local health departments to provide assistance to families with infants born with Zika-related birth defects to ensure they receive appropriate medical care. Infants born to mothers with confirmed infections will be monitored for one year.
As of July 29, CDPH has confirmed 114 travel-associated Zika virus infections in 22 counties. A total of 21 infections have been confirmed in pregnant women. This information is updated every Friday on the CDPH Zika Web site.
CDPH records show that as of July 29, infections have been confirmed in the neighboring counties of Napa, Sonoma and Yolo, as well as Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Los Angeles, Marin, Merced, Monterey, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Stanislaus, Tulare and Yuba.
While Zika infection is often asymptomatic, those who do have symptoms report fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes).
The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito.
There is currently no vaccine or treatment for Zika other than supportive care, rest, fluids and fever relief.
People traveling to areas with known Zika transmission should take steps to avoid mosquito bites:
· Use insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol for long-lasting protection. If using sunscreen and insect repellent, apply sunscreen first and then the repellent. Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding should choose an EPA-registered insect repellent and use it according to the product label. Do not use insect repellent on infants less than two months of age.
· Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
· Use air conditioning or window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside. If mosquitoes may come indoors, sleep under a bed net.
· Reduce the number of mosquitoes outside by emptying standing water from containers, such as flower pots and buckets.
Sexually active adults who travel to areas with Zika transmission should use condoms or other barriers in order to avoid getting or passing Zika during sex. Couples planning pregnancy should speak with a health care provider about a safe time to wait before trying to get pregnant.
CDPH provides Zika-related pregnancy outcome data to the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry maintained by the Centers for Disease Control, which is collecting this information to better understand the risks posed by Zika infection during pregnancy.
In order to protect privacy, CDPH is not releasing additional details or the locations of the mothers and children. Infants born with birth defects, including microcephaly, as a result of maternal Zika infection do not pose a public health risk to their communities.
