Fentanyl use and overdose deaths continue to rise in our community. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, and even a small amount can be deadly. Many street drugs today may contain fentanyl without the user knowing, which puts lives at serious risk. Local law enforcement strongly recommends carrying Narcan and knowing how to use it. Narcan is a safe, easy-to-use medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life.

📌 We encourage everyone to learn how to administer Narcan and keep it accessible.

If you or someone you know needs support or resources, help is available.
