Resident urges annual community fentanyl-awareness initiative
Summary
A Morrisville resident proposed a town-led annual fentanyl awareness event that would convene EMS, police, hospitals and schools to increase local prevention and connect residents to resources; the presenter submitted a policy memo for staff review.
Resident Saran Sundaram told the council he has submitted a policy memo proposing an annual fentanyl-awareness initiative to improve local prevention and education. "I'm a resident of Morrisville, and I'm I'm here to talk about my proposal for the establishment of an annual fentanyl awareness initiative," Sundaram said, urging a recurring local event that the town would convene with partners including EMS, police, hospitals and schools.
Sundaram acknowledged Wake County Public Health delivers countywide education but argued a town-level, visible, and recurring program would increase accessibility and connect residents to trusted resources. He offered to help staff with planning and requested the council consider his memo at an appropriate meeting or roundtable. Council did not take immediate action but accepted the submission and discussion during the public comment period.
