Today, on National Overdose Awareness Day, we remember. We support. We hope.

We remember the lives lost to overdose and the families who carry that loss. We stand beside those struggling with addiction and those working toward recovery.

One life lost to an overdose is one too many. Recovery is possible, help is available, and there is always hope.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out. Call or text 988 for support.

Together, we can save lives.

FOOTBALL FRIDAY IS ALMOST HERE!

We’re ready for Friday night lights, cheering on our hometown team, and maybe even a little yelling at the refs from the stands. But there’s one penalty we definitely don’t want anyone picking up after the game…

🚫 Impaired Driving — and that penalty lasts a whole lot longer than four quarters.

If your Friday night plans include drinking, make your game plan before kickoff:
- Designate a sober driver
- Call a friend
- Get a safe ride
- Stay the night

Enjoy the game. Cheer loud. Have fun. And make the best play of the night: GET HOME SAFE.

Drive Sober. Arrive Alive.

WIPERS ON? LIGHTS ON!

Mother Nature has been keeping Hamilton County pretty well watered lately! With all this rain, here’s a quick reminder before you hit the road:

If your windshield wipers are on because of rain, your headlights need to be on too!

And remember—headlights in the rain aren’t just about helping you see. They help everyone else see YOU.

While you’re at it:
- Slow down on wet roads
- Leave extra space between vehicles
- Turn those headlights on
- Make sure your wipers are doing their job—not just smearing the rain around!

We can’t control the Florida weather… but we CAN control how we drive in it.

Stay safe, Hamilton County!
