Some summer heroes wear capes. Others put the cold food back where the ice lives. ❄️

Before your next cookout, picnic or backyard snack situation, remember the basics: clean hands and surfaces, separate raw foods from ready-to-eat foods, cook foods to a safe temperature and chill leftovers before they get suspicious. www.jeffco.us/2408/Food-Safety

Mice and rats can spread germs, even if you never touch them.😬

The first 2026 human case of West Nile Virus has been confirmed in Jefferson County. This is also the first human case in Colorado this year.

West Nile virus is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. While most people who get West Nile virus don’t feel sick, some can become seriously ill or die.

Simple steps to avoid mosquito bites:
Use EPA-approved bug spray, wear long sleeves and pants, avoid being outside from dusk to dawn and drain standing water.

---------------------------------------

El primer caso humano de 2026 del virus del Nilo Occidental ha sido confirmado en el condado de Jefferson. Este también es el primer caso humano en Colorado este año.

El virus del Nilo Occidental se transmite a través de la picadura de un mosquito infectado. Aunque la mayoría de las personas que contraen el virus del Nilo Occidental no se sienten enfermas, algunas pueden enfermar gravemente o morir.

Pasos sencillos para evitar las picaduras de mosquitos:
Use repelente de insectos aprobado por la EPA, use camisas de manga larga y pantalones largos, evite estar al aire libre desde el atardecer hasta el amanecer y elimine el agua estancada.

Pride Month is a time to celebrate joy, connection and community. ❤️

It also helps shine a light on something that matters every day: people are healthier when they feel safe, supported and accepted.

Everyone deserves spaces where they can show up as themselves and be met with care, dignity and respect.

You’re out on a trail. No signal. Smoke in the distance. 🔥
Now what? Emergencies don’t wait. Not for cell service. Not for you to get back to your car.

Before you go:
• Share your location with someone
• Check conditions and fire risk
• Download maps so they work offline
• Know a second way out
• Pack what could help you stay safe, like a satellite device or an N95

Not sure where to start? We can help you build a simple plan, find the right resources and get signed up for alerts. Find all of our resources here: www.jeffco.us/ReadyJeffco
------------------------
Estás en un sendero. Sin señal. Humo a lo lejos. 🔥
¿Y ahora qué? Las emergencias no esperan a que tengas señal en tu celular ni a que regreses a tu carro.

Antes de salir:
• Comparte tu ubicación con alguien
• Revisa las condiciones y el riesgo de incendios
• Descarga mapas para usarlos sin conexión
• Ten una segunda ruta de salida
• Lleva lo necesario para mantenerte seguro, como un dispositivo satelital o una mascarilla N95

¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Podemos ayudarte a hacer un plan sencillo, encontrar recursos y registrarte para recibir alertas. Encuentra toda la información aquí: www.jeffco.us/ReadyJeffco
