The Iroquois County Public Health Department is encouraging public awareness on how to protect themselves from ultraviolet rays during the month of July. Ultraviolet rays can cause a severe sunburn if skin is exposed for long periods of time. In addition, skin cancers are caused primarily by exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), either from the sun or from artificial sources such as sunbeds. Globally in 2020, over 1.5 million cases of skin cancers were diagnosed and over 120,000 skin cancer-associated deaths were reported. Following are some tips on how to protect you and your family this summer.



<ul>
<li>Seek shade when possible to avoid direct sunlight over long periods of time.</li>



<li>Protect your skin with dark-colored clothing. Dark clothing may offer more protection against UV rays compared to light clothing.</li>



<li>Use sunscreen with a rating of at least SPF 30.</li>



<li>Wear a hat or bandana to protect your ears and scalp during outdoor activities.</li>



<li>Wear sunglasses that are specifically capable of blocking UV rays.</li>



<li>Protect children from the sun with proper clothing and sunscreen.</li>
</ul>



ICPHD is encouraging the public to please visit <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/features/uv-radiation-safety">www.cdc.gov/nceh/features/uv-radiation-safety</a> for more information on UV radiation.

Policy & Procedure Committee Meeting - Special Session 7/5/2023

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:



FROM: Eastern Illinois Mutual Aid Fire Association, which is comprised of all 21 fire departments located in Iroquois County. Our main objective, has always been, and always will be “Life Safety” and the “Protection of Property.”



There is currently a “Temporary Burn Ban” in place across Iroquois County, this was agreed on by the Fire Chiefs of Iroquois County.&nbsp; The Fire Chief has the authority to issue a temporary burn ban, pursuant with Illinois State Law (70 ILCS 705/8.20) directing everyone to refrain from any open burning, including landscape waste, agricultural waste, household trash, and garbage.&nbsp; Also included in this ban are “Consumer Fireworks Displays,” while companies professionally licensed, and insured through the Office of the State Fire Marshal are “at this time” still allowed to display fireworks.&nbsp; This may change depending on factors in which a municipality may refuse to allow the professional display to proceed. The Fire Department can by law impose fines for violation to this open fire ban, and will after warning and extinguishing these fires impose a fine of $100.00.&nbsp; Fines will double for second violation.



This ban will be in effect for 30 days and be reexamined close to the end of that time period for possible extension, if possible the ban will be lifted earlier.



Nobody wants to impose this Open Fire Ban and take the joy of fireworks away from celebrating our Independence Day, but much more importantly, we do not want to have to extinguish your house, or your neighbor’s house when it catches on fire.



Thank you all for your help making this a safe time for everyone in this drought driven dangerous time across Iroquois County.



URGENT NEWS RELEASE



Due to the current extreme drought conditions throughout Iroquois County, we are issuing a strong recommendation that all citizens refrain from any type of burning including the use of consumer grade fireworks until further notice.  At the present time, conditions are very favorable for the outbreak of wildfires and other uncontrolled events.  Any rainfall in the near future is not anticipated to have any effect on the drought conditions.



The Fire Chiefs in the county, with the authority granted by Illinois Statute, have approved a ban to prohibit any type of burning including the use of consumer grade fireworks.&nbsp; This ban will remain in effect until drought conditions have abated sufficiently.&nbsp; Please direct any questions to the Fire Chief of your local Fire Protection District.



On behalf of the County Board, the Sheriff, and all Elected Officials, I urge everyone to cooperate with the Fire Chiefs in this matter.



John Shure



Chairman, Iroquois County Board
