Protect Our Community from Hantavirus
Public health officials are monitoring a recent Andes virus outbreak linked to international travel. At this time, there are no confirmed Andes virus cases or exposures in Arizona Tribal communities, and the risk to the public remains very low.
What you should know:
🐭 Hantavirus is carried by rodents, most commonly the deer mouse in Arizona and the Southwest.
⚠️ Exposure can occur when breathing in particles contaminated by rodent droppings, urine, saliva, or nesting materials.
🤒 Early symptoms may include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
🫁 Severe illness can affect the lungs and cause difficulty breathing.
Help protect yourself and your family:
✔️ Remove brush, trash, and wood piles near your home
✔️ Store food securely
✔️ Seal openings where rodents can enter
❌ Do not sweep or vacuum rodent droppings, as this can spread contaminated particles into the air
If you develop symptoms after rodent exposure, seek medical care right away.
For questions or concerns, contact SRPMIC Public Health at 480-362-2603.

West Nile Virus Prevention
SRPMIC Public Health: Environmental Health works to protect the Community from mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile Virus and St. Louis Encephalitis.
TIPS:
- Use Repellent: Use EPA-registered mosquito repellent containing DEET or picaridin when outdoors, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitos are most active.
- Remove Standing Water: Mosquitos lay eggs in standing water. Empty or refresh buckets, flowerpots, pet dishes, tires, coolers, and other containers regularly to help prevent breeding.
- Wear Protective Clothing: Wear long sleeves and pants, when possible, to reduce mosquito bites.
- Keep Mosquitoes Outside: Repair window and door screens and keep doors closed to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
- Time Outdoor Activities: Mosquito activity increases around dawn and dusk. Plan outdoor activities accordingly when possible.

Update on Per Capita Payments
On February 10, 2026, a Referendum Election was held to change taxable gaming per capita payments to tax-free general welfare payments. The referendum passed, and this change will take effect beginning with the July 2026 payment.
The per capita payment issued on April 30, 2026, will be taxable. You will receive a Form 1099 for this payment for federal tax purposes.
Beginning with the July 30, 2026, payment, the Community will issue tax-free general welfare payments. No action is required on your part and per capita payments will continue to be issued quarterly through your current method.
