Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when freedom finally reached Galveston, Texas—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. 📅 📖

Juneteenth stands as a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice. The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times.

📣 All HCPH offices, vaccination and testing sites, and Harris County Pets will be closed tomorrow in observance of the Juneteenth holiday.

🚗 Never leave children or pets unattended in a parked vehicle – the temperature inside can rise to dangerous levels quickly! Ensure outdoor pets have plenty of shade and water. Check on elderly neighbors or relatives.

Summer fun starts with water safety.
Before you head to the pool, beach, lake, or river, remember:

👀 Watch children at all times
📵 Put phones and distractions away
✋ Stay within arm's reach of young children
🦺 Use life jackets in open water
🏊 Learn swimming and CPR skills

Drowning is fast and often silent. Your attention is the best protection.

With the recent heavy rains and flooding in Harris County, standing water is creating ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Protect yourself and reduce mosquito breeding around your home with these steps:

- Use EPA-registered insect repellent
- Wear long sleeves and pants when possible
- Empty standing water from containers, flowerpots, buckets, and birdbaths
- Keep window and door screens in good repair
- Avoid outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours when possible

Small actions can make a big difference in preventing mosquito bites and the spread of disease.
