    Don’t let the excitement of rushing to catch your home team take on their rival let you forget about flood safety. Never walk or drive through floodwaters. Muddy flood water can easily conceal how deep the water really is.

Safety Tips:

Warning Icon: Don't step into floodwaters. They hide dangers that can cause sickness, injury, or even death.

Megaphone Icon: Follow instructions from public safety officials and venue staff.

Water & Arrow Icon: NEVER drive through floodwaters. You don't know how deep the water is.

    Fall can bring a secondary peak of severe weather. Do you know the difference between a National Weather Service Watch and Warning? ⛈️ A Watch means that ingredients are favorable for severe weather to develop. This is the time to stay informed and be prepared to take action.

    Temperatures continue to be well above average for September across most areas east of the Rockies into the Labor Day weekend. Heat Advisories are widespread from the south-central Plains into the Mid-Atlantic, with Extreme Heat Warnings centered in the Mid-Mississippi Valley,
    Practice Heat Safety wherever you are. Job Sites: stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade as often as possible. Indoors: Check up on the elderly, sick and those without AC. Vehicles: Never leave kids or pets unattended - LOOK before you LOCK. Outdoors: Limit strenuous outdoor activities, find shade, and stay hydrated. Heat-related deaths are preventable. Protect yourself and others from the impacts of heat waves.
