It’s Day 1 of #HeatSafetyWeek! As temperatures rise, knowing the difference between heat exhaustion & heat stroke can save a life. Don't forget to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade & check on vulnerable friends, family & neighbors. Together, we can stay safe in the heat.

We spend a lot of time preparing for emergencies, but let’s be real… sometimes the most important check-in is w/ourselves.Consider this your friendly reminder to:
✔️ Take a break (yes, even you)
✔️ Get some fresh air
✔️ Talk to someone you trust
✔️ Stay hydrated

Happy Happy Nurses’ Day to all the AMAZING nurses out there!!! 🩺Nurses are the calm in the chaos & masters of multitasking. THANK YOU for your skill, compassion, quick thinking, and for making “I’ve got this” look effortless (even when it definitely isn’t). #NursesDay

BIG SHOUTOUT to our INCREDIBLE #OKMRC volunteers who spent their weekend at #CampBandage doing what they do best, repping the OKMRC!  They were out there sharing #preparedness tips, recruiting future volunteers & teaching life-saving skills with hands-only #CPR.

OKMRC volunteers are basically real-life superheroes:
🦸‍♂️ Able to deploy at a moment’s notice
🦸‍♀️ Masters of training, teamwork & staying calm under pressure
🦸 Experts in making a difference (no origin story required)
Because around here… saving the day is kind of our thing!!! 😉

[OKMRC @OKMRC]

When disaster strikes, the urge to jump in & help is strong, we get it. But heading into impacted areas without being requested (self-deploying) can actually make response efforts more difficult & put additional strain on already overwhelmed resources. Please do not self-deploy!

Today is #LostDogAwarenessDay & our Preparedness Pup, Murphy, wants to remind you to make sure your pup has a collar with UP-TO-DATE ID tags & their microchip info is also kept current…think of it like our permanent “return to sender” label! #PetPreparedness

To all our volunteers...THANK YOU for being the heart of everything we do. Your service truly makes a difference every single day! Helen Dyer was absolutely correct, “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” Thank you for your AMAZING heart!💙

[OKMRC @OKMRC]

This week, we celebrate the people who make a difference simply by showing up, stepping in & serving their communities-#OKMRC Volunteers! To ALL of our volunteers…THANK YOU! Volunteering isn’t just what you do, it’s who you are & it matters more than words can ever express!
