The February 20, 2025 meeting of the Northampton County Energy, Environment and Land Use Committee featured a detailed presentation by Hope Kassi from Lebanon County Extension on the current status and management of Avian Influenza (bird flu). The discussion focused on the disease's impact on poultry and dairy cattle, biosecurity measures to prevent spread, quarantine protocols, and the challenges related to vaccination and virus control. While the presentation provided extensive information on disease prevention and control efforts, including testing and indemnity processes, there were no procurement-related discussions such as contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations during the meeting.
