Humboldt County Extreme Temperatures Plan has been implemented starting tonight (12/12) starting at 5pm. The NWS has forecast sub-zero temperatures/ windchills for the next several days and that meets the criteria for the plans implementation.

Our town partners will open warming centers as they are able and at their discretion to assist those that temporarily need a place to warm up.

Those in need of a warming center should contact their local city offices for more information.

You can find a list of those locations at https://www.humboldtcounty.iowa.gov/offices/public_safety/emergency_management/index.php and click on CRITICAL INFORMATION.

The Humboldt County mobile food pantry wants to spread the word that they are still serving patrons in the drive through at the Fairgrounds until 6:00 pm tonight. All people have to do is drive up and provide their name, number of people in the household, and the county they live in.

🌬️ November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 🌬️

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. — but early detection can make all the difference.

While smoking remains the number one risk factor, there are others to be aware of:
🚭 Exposure to secondhand smoke
🏠 Radon gas and environmental toxins
⚙️ Workplace exposure (such as asbestos or diesel exhaust)
🧬 A family history of lung cancer can also increase your risk — even if you’ve never smoked.

💡 The good news? Lung cancer can be detected early through a Low-Dose CT (LDCT) Scan, a quick and painless test proven to save lives.

✅ You don’t have to travel far — Low-Dose CT Lung Screenings are available right here at Humboldt County Memorial Hospital (HCMH)!

Talk with your healthcare provider to see if a screening is right for you.

Together, we can take steps toward early detection and prevention. 💙
