PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY: BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE DRINKING!

Following the recent typhoon, our water supply may be contaminated. To keep you and your family safe from water-borne diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid fever, please ensure that all drinking water is properly boiled.

What You Should Do:

1. Boil water for at least 1 minute (or 3 minutes if you are in a high-altitude area).

2. Let it cool naturally and store it in a clean, covered container.

3. Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, preparing food, and making infant formula.

4. Do not drink water directly from the tap or from any unclear source.

5. Continue practicing proper handwashing and hygiene to prevent illness.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “boiling water is one of the most effective ways to make it safe for drinking.”

Let’s work together to keep our community safe, healthy, and disease-free.

Stay safe and hydrated!
