Health Department advises of risks involving floodwater
Floodwater poses the risk of drowning, but the Lincoln Trail District Health Department is offering additional recommendations as many area residents continue to see the impacts from recent severe weather.
The health department urges area residents to not drive into flooded areas, and to stay out of standing water. The water may be contaminated by bacteria or contain sharp objects, so don’t let children play in flooded areas.
The health department says anybody that comes into contact with floodwater should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water. If it has been more than five years since your last tetanus booster, now may be time to schedule an appointment if you are assisting with any flood clean-up efforts. Contact your healthcare provider or any of the health department’s health centers to schedule an appointment.
WIC recipients who cannot reach the WIC office or have been displaced by flooding may have their benefits issued by telephone, and damaged food items purchased with WIC benefits can be replaced. Infant formula can be issued in a ready-to-feed format if safe drinking water is unavailable. Contact your local WIC office for more information.
