NEVER drive through flooded roads. It can be more dangerous than it looks! Flood water can: • Hide debris, downed power lines, and washed-out roads. • Cause your vehicle to lose traction, float, or stall. • Leave you unable to steer or brake. ➡️ ready.gov/floods

As wildfires continue to impact communities across the western U.S., know where you’ll go if told to evacuate. Pick a safe destination and map multiple routes. Check your local emergency management sites for wildfire evacuation info. Having a plan can save time and lives!

Knowing the difference between a tornado watch & a warning can save lives. Share this with someone who may need the reminder! 📲Watch = Be ready Pay attention to the news & know where to shelter. 🚨Warning = Take action now Stay away from windows & shelter in an interior room.

Hurricane season reminder: regularly review important documents like your insurance policies and ID and make sure they're up to date. In addition, make copies and upload them to a secure digital space, so you'll still have access if the originals get damaged in a disaster.
