Dengue contributes 6.8/100 from travel-associated cases; COVID-19 is at minimal background level. No mpox signal is present in the current reporting window. No wastewater-based epidemiology program covers Kansas City in this surveillance cycle, reducing early-warning capacity. Hantavirus is an active watch-level signal for the greater Kansas City area; outdoor venue staff, groundskeeping crews, and accommodation providers should implement strict rodent-exclusion and clean-up protocols in line with CDC guidance. Data coverage is medium (81%), supporting moderate confidence. Conditions are warm and very humid (23°C, 91% relative humidity, 0.8 mm recent precipitation). International arrivals are very low at 360, limiting importation risk. Pertussis and measles vaccination verification is recommended for all accredited personnel.
