Today for , we are seeing how much we can do to prepare for an emergency without spending any money. We signed up for local alerts at both the city and county level, downloaded the FEMA app, made a list of important contacts, checked that flashlights worked, and made an escape route from our home. Is there anything we are missing?

Press Release: Denton County Reports Fifth West Nile Virus Human Case

September 10, 2026 – Denton County Public Health (DCPH) is reporting the fifth human case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Denton County this year. The community member lives in the southeast quadrant of unincorporated Denton County and was diagnosed with West Nile Virus Neuroinvasive Disease. To protect patient confidentiality, no further personal information will be released.

“With five confirmed human cases and continued activity of West Nile Virus mosquitoes in Denton County, we are reminding the community of the ongoing risk for contracting the virus,” stated Juan Rodriguez, Assistant Director and Chief Epidemiologist. “We encourage community members to remain vigilant in reducing mosquito breeding areas and using repellants when outdoors. These simple steps can help protect you and your family, friends, and neighbors from mosquito bites.”

DCPH advises residents to take the following steps to minimize the risk of contracting WNV:
• Drain standing water in your yard and neighborhood to minimize mosquito breeding sites such as bird baths, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters. Consider using BTI briquettes, often called mosquito dunks, in standing water that cannot be eliminated.
• Dress in long sleeves and pants when you are outside and spray thin clothing with repellent.
• Defend yourself by using EPA-registered repellent. Check for ingredients like DEET, Picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.

Please visit the DCPH West Nile Virus website at DentonCounty.gov/WNV for additional information, including mosquito maps, latest news, and facts about WNV.

Warm evenings outside are the best, and mosquitoes shouldn't stop you. Prevent bites and the diseases they can carry with a few easy steps. Mosquitoes breed in even the smallest amount of water, so remove standing water from buckets and planters. Clean gutters and drain bird baths regularly. Use an EPA-approved repellent (like DEET or picaridin) and wear loose, long-sleeved clothing when outside at dawn or dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.
