Before an Emergency: Build a Kit and Make a Plan
Local emergencies rarely give us much time to prepare. A severe storm, a fire, or any other unexpected event can suddenly disrupt our environment and the routines we depend on. Without warning, our access to shelter, food, safe water, medications, and transportation can be impaired for extended periods, threatening our well-being. Stay prepared with these steps >

Think tick and mosquito season ends when summer does? Think again.
Ticks can survive cold temperatures by sheltering beneath leaves and other ground cover, while some mosquitoes may become active again during unusually warm fall days. That's why bite prevention should remain part of your outdoor routine even as temperatures begin to cool.
Enjoy the changing season—but continue protecting yourself from bites.
Spring, summer, fall, or winter—breastfeeding support is available whenever you need it.
The Moultrie County Health Department's WIC program helps new and expectant mothers with breastfeeding education, support, and resources. You don't have to wait until you have a question or concern to reach out. Learning about breastfeeding before your baby arrives can help you feel more prepared.
Call our WIC office at (217) 728-4114 to learn more about the services available to you.
