At home and everywhere, a gentle reminder that the floor is the worst place for paper and valuables. Be sure to keep things at least several inches off the floor to mitigate risk, even higher if you can.

Stay safe and dry today, y'all!

This month, boost your emergency kit with a well-stocked first aid kit. Include bandages, antiseptics, pain relievers, and any personal medical items. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in an emergency.
