NEW LOCATION!!! Hey everyone, our Ida 5th anniversary event has moved to the firehouse - see the updated flyer with the new address. It’s so important that we stand with Ida survivors on their anniversary, especially in Manville, where people don’t have access to all the same programs that other survivors do.

It's a great week to head down the shore! 🏖 But, at the beach, remaining vigilant and knowing when to speak up can save someone’s life.
🌊 If you meet someone from out of town, let them know about the dangers of rip currents and other beach hazards.
🚨 If someone is waving or yelling for you: don’t panic, take 10 seconds to assess the situation, then immediately alert a lifeguard.
🛟 While help is coming, see if there’s a flotation device you can throw to them. Don’t attempt a rescue on your own.
