Earth Month, celebrated every April, is a time to raise awareness about environmental issues and take action to protect our planet. It was inspired by Earth Day (April 22), which began in 1970 and sparked the modern environmental movement. It’s a reminder that small actions—like conserving energy, reducing waste, and protecting wildlife—can make a big impact.

The Town of Yountville displays the Earth Day Flag on the ceremonial flagpole in front of Town Hall for the month of April, annually recognizing the Town's commitment to Earth Day. 

Looking for some "green" inspiration? We encourage you to follow the Town's social media accounts (Town of Yountville - Local Government on Facebook and @YvilleTownHall on Instagram) for weekly tips & ideas to help you make a positive impact on our environment and live a greener life! 

What to Do If You’re Notified Your Personal Information Was Exposed in a Data Breach

Don’t Ignore the Notification
Treat every data breach notification seriously. Even if the exposed information seems harmless, criminals can piece together small bits of data for identity theft or fraud.

Confirm the Breach Is Legitimate
Scammers may send fake breach notifications to trick you into clicking malicious links. If you’re unsure, don’t click anything in the email. Instead, go directly to the company’s website or contact them through a verified phone number to confirm.

Find Out What Information Was Exposed
The type of data exposed matters. If only your email address was leaked, you might see an increase in spam. If it was your Social Security number or financial info, the risk is much more serious.

Change Affected Passwords Immediately
If login credentials were exposed, change your passwords right away—especially if you reuse them on other accounts (which you *really* shouldn’t). Use strong, unique passwords and consider a password manager to help you stay organized.

Set Up Fraud Alerts or Credit Freezes
If sensitive information like your Social Security number was leaked: - Fraud alert: Contact one of the three credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax) to place a fraud alert. This makes it harder for identity thieves to open accounts in your name. - Credit freeze: This takes things a step further by completely locking down your credit report. You’ll need to temporarily lift the freeze if you apply for credit.

Monitor Your Accounts and Credit
Regularly check your bank accounts, credit card statements, and credit reports for unusual activity. You can get a free credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com from each bureau once a year (or more often depending on circumstances).

Take Advantage of Free Services
Many companies offer free credit monitoring or identity protection services after a breach. If it’s being offered, take advantage of it—it can give you early warning of suspicious activity.

Report Identity Theft
If you suspect you’ve been the victim of identity theft, visit IdentityTheft.gov. The site provides step-by-step instructions on how to report and recover from identity theft.

Final Thoughts
No one wants to deal with the aftermath of a data breach, but staying calm and taking swift action can minimize the damage. Be vigilant, act fast, and take the right precautions to protect your identity.
