Jefferson County Launches Online Avian Influenza Dashboard
JEFFERSON, Wis. – The Jefferson County Health Department (JCHD) has created an online resource to share updated information regarding the avian influenza outbreaks in Jefferson County. The Jefferson County Avian Influenza Outbreaks Dashboard is designed to provide residents with real-time data regarding each of the response categories at the two affected locations.
You can access the Dashboard at https://sites.google.com/view/jeffcohpai2026/home or by opening the Jefferson County website and clicking the Dashboard link at the top of the Health Department page. The Dashboard features a summary of the outbreak followed by description, status, and oversight responsibility for the six response tasks at each location: depopulation, composting, cleaning/disinfection, groundwater quality monitoring, air quality monitoring, and symptom monitoring. The Dashboard also includes safety precautions, contacts for reporting sick or dead animals, and key information for farm and medical workers, owners of backyard flocks, and dairy farmers.
“The health and safety of Jefferson County residents are always our top priorities. We are working closely with the impacted sites and our partners at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to ensure that the farm and health workers and all of our neighbors are safe as we perform our response activities,” said Elizabeth McGeary, Director of the Jefferson County Health Department. “I encourage everyone who wants to stay informed on this topic to visit our Dashboard regularly, as we provide frequent updates.”
“Our JCHD team is well-prepared and dedicated to collaborating with DATCP to provide a safe and comprehensive response,” said Michael Luckey, Jefferson County Administrator. “The Avian Influenza Outbreaks Dashboard is a critical tool that organizes updated information in a centralized, easy-to-use location to protect and educate our residents.”
