Please cap it-

[NYC Water @NYCWater]

25 vs. 1,000 gallons/min 💧
It’s a big difference!
Spray caps make hydrants safe — just 25 gpm instead of 1,000! That protects pressure, prevents injuries, and helps avoid discolored water caused by stirred-up sediment. Get one FREE at your local @FDNY firehouse.

We're facing an emergency blood shortage — our national blood supply fell nearly 25% over the past month. During a blood shortage, doctors may face difficult choices about which patients receive blood transfusions and who will need to wait.  

We are in urgent need of donors to help patients who are counting on lifesaving blood following accidents, during surgeries, and for treatment of conditions such as sickle cell disease and cancer.

Help us beat the current shortage by scheduling an appointment to give blood or platelets: https://t.co/lbj3JET03j

What's in your hiking bag? 🎒☀️🌿
Before you hit the trail this summer, make sure you're packing the essentials to stay safe. Too much sun exposure can cause skin cancer — the most common cancer in the United States. And tick bites can spread diseases like Lyme disease.
The good news? A little preparation goes a long way.
