National Radon Action Month

An Environmental Protection Specialist and I will be coordinating an event for National Radon Action Month in January. I'd like to have an event at a local public facility and have local radon testers and mitigators in attendance to answer questions or concerns that visitors may have about this silent killer. I would like to distribute a DVD explaining what radon is, how to test levels in the home and how to mitigate it. I would also like to have tests and/or coupons to purchase the test available for distribution. I thought that we could have fun things for kids such as face painting, coloring books/contests and so on.

I'd like to know if anyone of you have coordinated or sponsored similar events or plan anything like this in your area for next January. If so, would you please share your experience with me? I am open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi Katharine: I haven't had such an event, but I notice there is a lot more awareness about radon recently. I think it's great and we are having our own home tested. It's a dangerous thing and we haven't had enough education on the subject. Blessings!

Wow, they have a month for almost everything. I'd never heard of National Radon Action Month.

We need a calendar for the Month designations. I just found out in October that September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month. We have to know these things to plan monthly themes. It is too late when you find out after the fact. Anyone know of a database with these designations?

Ntsike - you can google "occasions" and find all sorts of information to add to your calendar.

I know almost nothing about radon. We do not have any in this market that I have seen. The only time I have seen it tested is from a relocation company. The fella drove 100 miles to test the house. We have no rocks here.

Katharine~

Love this idea. You seem to have the Plan well in mind. Maybe ask your local real estate support professionals to contribute in some way (?? Let us know how it all pans out.
