Recent outbreaks of H5N1, or “bird flu”, underscore the urgent need for robust public health tools. In this webinar—moderated by Amy Lockwood, Verily’s Head of Public Health Partnerships—we discuss how advanced wastewater monitoring is empowering public health officials with critical population insights for rapid and targeted response to H5N1.

Michelle Vien, Influenza Epidemiologist at the Hawaii Department of Health, and Casie Stoughton, Director of Public Health at the City of Amarillo, Texas, share valuable insights from the application and success of wastewater monitoring in Hawaii and Texas.
