The City of Burbank Public Works Department
will be coordinating clean up efforts resulting from damage caused by the
recent flooding.
Residents are encouraged to place damaged
property caused by the storm on the parkway in front of their home for
pick-up. Allied Waste will be providing additional resources to facilitate
garbage removal. The Burbank Public Works Department will also be assisting
in debris removal. If you need more information contact the Public Works
Department between 8: 00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., at (708) 924-7390.
ADDITIONALLY:
The Stickney Public Health District
would like to offer you some tips as clean up continues from the weekend’s
storms and flooding. Flood water mixing with sewage is not only a concern
to your property, but can affect your health. This type of flood condition
breeds bacteria and disease quickly. The bacteria can survive for weeks in
water or dried sewage.
1. Use
a mixture of bleach and water, a 10:1 solution whenever possible when
cleaning hard surfaces. Be sure to use gloves and work in a well ventilated
area.
2. If
you have been exposed to flood waters and/or damage, you should receive a
tetanus vaccination.
3. Monitor
your health for the next few weeks. If you experience headaches,
generalized aches and pains, poor appetite, fever, lethargy, diarrhea, or
chest congestion; please seek medical attention and inform your health care
provider of your exposure.
The health department is open from 8:30 am to
4:00 pm at the Burbank and Stickney locations. The Central Stickney
location is open from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. Please call to schedule an
appointment for your vaccination, so we can get you “in and out” as soon as
possible. Please call: 708-424-9200.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
The City of Burbank and its residents have been
requested by Cook County to compile a survey of the July 24th
2010 flood damage victims. The below link contains a PDF questionnaire that
should be Printed and filled out by hand for submission to City Hall located
at 6530 W. 79th Street. All submissions must be delivered no
later than August 20th 2010, end of business day.

Thank You.
