- Public locations are rounded to about 1 km, and the page explicitly separates observations from officially confirmed cases.
Field notes
The form asks observers to distinguish wound, larva and adult-fly sightings, select an animal, and check visual cues such as the maggot’s dark lengthwise lines. It says reports can include a rounded location, while exact location goes to an official channel only if the user chooses that handoff. The page identifies some state contact numbers as still under verification.
