Outbreaks of dengue fever in Kaohsiung City have been particularly serious this year, and the EPA is very concerned about the health of the residents. The EPA is working closely with local environmental protection agencies to implement the control practice of "prioritizing the removal of breeding grounds supplemented with spraying pesticides in emergencies." In addition to enhancing outdoor mosquito breeding ground patrols and issuing penalties when necessary, the EPA has also provided Kaohsiung City Government Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) with an emergency grant to improve control efforts. A dedicated web page on dengue fever control information offers advice on how to spot mosquito breeding grounds, and tips on tidying up around homes has also been added to the bureau's website.
