This week is also Mosquito Control Week, and HCPH would like to emphasize some efforts to protect the people most vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases.

Certain groups are more susceptible to mosquito-borne illnesses, including children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. These individuals are often at greater risk of infection and may experience more severe symptoms.

Protecting your community starts with a few simple actions:

✅Dump standing water from bird baths, flower pots, buckets, tarps, and other containers.

✅Clean gutters and downspouts regularly; mosquitoes love these overlooked breeding sites.

Together, we can help protect our families, neighbors, and those most at risk: https://www.mosquito.org/mosquito-information/.

Happy Monday, Huron County! We have some rain expected this week, just in time for Lightning Safety Awareness Week!⚡

Since 2001, the Lightning Safety Council has called attention to educating the public on lightning safety, and has since seen a reduction in U.S. lightning-related fatalities from an average of 55 deaths per year, down to roughly 20 deaths per year. Making the public aware of the dangers of lightning can be a lifesaver (literally!): http://lightningsafetycouncil.org/LSC-LSAW2.html

Happy First Day of Summer! ☀

HCPH would like to take a moment to remind the community of the importance of heat and pool safety. If you plan on being outside on a hot day please remember to wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade when needed and cool off in the pool, all while practicing pool safety as recommended by the CDC: www.cdc.gov/healthywater/swimming/index.html.

June is National Safety Month, and we spent an exciting afternoon at Safety Town today!🚦🚧

Our Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) Coordinator, Sydney, distributed free bicycle helmets and flashers made available through the Put a Lid on It program through the Ohio AAP Foundation, Ohio Department of Transportation, and Honda USA Foundation. There were over 40 helmets and flashers distributed this afternoon, and we hope to see our community’s kiddos put them to good use with the safety lessons they learned this week!🚸

HCPH has always been proud to support youth safety education in Huron County. As part of this commitment, we were proud to sponsor the Safety Town interactive mat (last two photos) a few years back, an educational tool designed to facilitate traffic safety instruction for children within a secure setting.

We would like to thank Captain Dave Daniels and the Norwalk Police Department for inviting us to be a part of today’s Safety Town graduation, and we wish a safe, fun summer to all the kiddos!☀️
