Action Plan
Here’s our 2009-2010 Coalition Action Plan. It includes these two Primary
Objectives:
1. To increase the number of relevant agencies that participate in the Regional Lead Poisoning Prevention Coalition.
2. To help our members conduct a lead poisoning prevention activity in their
communities during Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (to
be held October 25–31).
Our Action Plan also includes these Secondary Objectives (at least one for each of the seven South Jersey counties we serve):
3. To educate and train pediatric providers to screen young children for lead poisoning and provide guidance regarding kids’ exposure or access to lead sources.
4. To identify and distribute information regarding non-paint sources of lead used by Mexican, Dominican Republicans, and Asian Indians.
5. To educate and train municipal prosecutors and judges about executing abatement orders against property owners.
6. To educate families and children about lead poisoning prevention at home (i.e., nutrition, hand washing, lead-safe cleaning techniques, lead-safe renovation).
7. To provide information and training opportunities to property owners who oversee owner- and tenant-occupied housing units.

Members of the Coalition have access to a number of recruitment tools that they can use to help draw new people to their meetings or to make the case for lead safety in their communities.
Community Education PowerPoint Presentations with
County-Specific Information
Lead is a problem for every community in South Jersey; as much as one-third of the housing stock in the entire state may be affected. These maps and charts indicate those communities that are home to the greatest concentration of at-risk housing stock, the lowest childhood testing rates, and other lead threats.
• Atlantic County
• Burlington County
• Camden County
• Cape May County
• Cumberland County
• Gloucester County
• Salem County
These charts indicate the child blood lead testing results, by county, including those numbers of children with elevated Blood Lead Levels (BLLs), from 2003–05.
Targeted Communities
In every county served by the Coalition, there are several communities whose children are at greatest risk for lead poisoning simply because they are not screened for the disease. With a simple blood test, parents can discover whether their children are at risk. In order to raise awareness about the problem, the Coalition is providing access to these towns that have the lowest childhood screening rates.

• Burlington County
• Camden County
