📍Heat preparedness ☀️

With warm weather it’s important to stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed.

Know what to do when it’s really hot out and take precautions to lower the risk of heat related illnesses.

Staying informed about the weather conditions can help you and your family stay safe. Especially when warm weather brings thunderstorms and the risk of tornadoes.

Make sure you and your family are prepared for those hot days and know what to do if you get stuck in a storm.
