🗺 The first step to being flood-prepared is knowing your flood risk. Even if your home has not flooded in the past, your flood risk can change.

✔ Remember, anywhere that it rains it can flood ‼ Low risk does not mean no risk.

Why 95%? Herd Immunity is vital to our community to stop the spread of measles.

Be prepared before measles shows up at your doorstep.

· Know the symptoms

· Get vaccinated

· Protect your keiki

Preparedness isn’t just for hurricanes — it's for public health too.

[Hawaiʻi State Department of Health @HawaiiDOH]

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world. It’s spread through tiny droplets in the air or on surfaces for up to two hours after an infected person was there.

9 out of 10 unvaccinated persons who are exposed through close contact to measles will get infected.

[National Pediatric Disaster Coalition (NPDC) @npdcoalition]

Don't be that grown-up. Make sure all children know how to reach parents in an emergency. For information that helps #PrepTheKids visit

Understanding the difference between a tsunami watch, advisory, warning, and extreme warning will ensure you know what actions to take.

Each action is tied to a certain action required to keep you safe.

Floods do more than damage homes—they can harm health, water, & food. Stay safe: avoid floodwater, clean up right, & know the signs of spoiled food. Be ready to recover: 🌧️💧
