If your pipes freeze due to the cold temperatures:

✔️ Turn off your water to reduce pressure on the frozen pipes and minimize flooding.
✔️ Thaw frozen pipes with a hair dryer, how towel, space heater or a heat lamp.
⛔ Never use an open flame to that frozen pipes.

[Readygov @Readygov]

7 AM | Tsunami Advisory remains in effect. Stay out of the water and away from the shore in these areas. Follow us and https://t.co/LKhnqlOvZn for updates. #wawx

[Washington ShakeOut @waShakeOut]

We are still seeing people heading to the beach or marinas to watch the tsunami waves come in. DO NOT DO THIS. You not only put yourself in danger, you also put any emergency responders in danger who may need to come to your rescue.
