Environmental Health Division Intensifies Fight Against Vector-Borne Diseases With Aggressive Cleanup In Ciceron

The Environmental Health Division, in partnership with the Ciceron Development Committee, spearheaded a large-scale community cleanup on February 8 and 9, 2025, targeting mosquito and rat breeding grounds. This proactive initiative mobilized residents, volunteers, and key agencies to tackle poor waste disposal, a major contributor to vector-borne diseases. By clearing high-risk areas of stagnant water and waste buildup, the campaign reinforced the community’s commitment to environmental health and disease prevention. Building on the momentum of the Mosquito Awareness Campaign 2024, the clean-up drive focused on high-risk areas, particularly locations prone to stagnant water accumulation and waste buildup. The Interim Chair of the Ciceron Development Committee underscored the importance of sustaining the progress made through the cleanup initiative.
