The most common weather threat to Pennsylvania is flooding.

With more severe weather threats in spring and summer, now is a good time to prepare for floods. Simple things you can do:

1. Have at least 2 ways to get weather alerts 🤳
2. Consider flood insurance 🤔
3. Stock up on emergency supplies 🔦
4. Never willingly enter flood water. Turn around, don't drown ⛔
5. Know what to do if you lose power 💡m

Attorney General Dave Sunday is encouraging Pennsylvanians — including students and soon-to-be graduates — to be vigilant when reviewing job opportunities posted online, and be watchful for potential scams.

Employment scams – particularly, phony work-from-home options – continue to target job seekers with promises of high pay, flexible schedules or easy income. In many cases, scammers use fake job applications to obtain personal or financial information:
