Weekly Address: What You Need To Know About Ebola 

In this week’s address, the President discussed what the United States is doing to respond to Ebola, both here at home and abroad, and the key facts Americans need to know. There is no country better prepared to confront the challenge Ebola poses than the U.S. and although even one case here at home is too many, the country is not facing an outbreak of the disease. Our medical professionals tell us Ebola is difficult to catch, and is only transmitted through direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is showing symptoms.

The President made clear that he and his entire administration will continue to do everything possible to prevent further transmission of the disease domestically, and to contain and end the Ebola epidemic at its source in West Africa.

Get the Facts About Ebola 

This week, the President met with Cabinet officials and Dr. Tom Frieden of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During the meeting, President Obama updated the country on our comprehensive strategy to contain the disease, prevent its spread, and combat it at its source in West Africa. He also announced this week that he's asked Ron Klain to serve as the Administration's coordinator for the U.S. response.

Have some questions about how exactly Ebola spreads?

"Within These Hills Lies Millennia of History" 

Last Friday, President Obama designated the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains in California as our newest national monument. 

"It's not just the natural beauty of the San Gabriels that makes it invaluable. Within these hills lies millennia of history, including the ancient rock art of Native peoples -- the first Americans," he said.

Protecting the San Gabriel Mountains also benefits area residents: More than 15 million people live within 90 minutes of the mountains, which provide residents with 70 percent of their open space and 30 percent of their drinking water. And the new designation will protect nearly 350,000 acres for hiking, biking, and outdoor recreation.
