Remember...

​⏰ Daylight Saving Starts Sunday! ☀️
Clocks move forward 1 hour at 2:00 AM (2 AM ➡️ 3 AM).
​It’s also the perfect reminder to:

​🔥 Check your Smoke Alarms batteries & review your emergency Grab Bags.

🏠 Review your evacuation plan and family emergency communication.

🤝 Check on your neighbors to ensure everyone is prepared.

​🌊 Tsunami Warning...
Sirens are retired! Look for Emergency Mobile Alerts on your phone.

⚠️ Remember: If an earthquake is long (>1 min) or strong, or the ocean acts unusually—get to high ground on foot immediately. Don't wait for an official alert!
