• What citizens can do to protect themselves
• How your agency can address the concern, including measures and surveillance
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) -  with specific items
• Whom to contact for additional details (e.g., WHO, Ministry of Health), including an address and phone number.

Your brochure should meet the following structural requirements:

• Two-page brochure that includes all elements detailed above
• Conforms to APA writing standards; be sure to cite any statistics or other information, as appropriate.
