Citizens and Government working together for the future

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.
