🌡️We know its summer but its still hot out there. Heat indices will continue to be around 100 to 105 the next couple of days, so be sure to keep an eye on yourself and others. Drink plenty of fluids, find a good shade tree if outside and don't forget your sunscreen!

We're facing an emergency blood shortage — our national blood supply fell nearly 25% over the past month. During a blood shortage, doctors may face difficult choices about which patients receive blood transfusions and who will need to wait.  

We are in urgent need of donors to help patients who are counting on lifesaving blood following accidents, during surgeries, and for treatment of conditions such as sickle cell disease and cancer.

Help us beat the current shortage by scheduling an appointment to give blood or platelets: https://t.co/lbj3JET03j

Why is it always hot on the weekends?!?
When temperatures rise:
-Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty
-Stay in air-conditioned buildings whenever possible
-Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle

Looking good isn’t just for date night.

Do laundry ahead of time and pack a change of clothes in your emergency kit because you deserve to feel clean and comfy.

After a storm, hazards can are everywhere. As you start picking up debris (your helper might lend a paw), keep safety tips in mind:
-Watch for sharp objects
-Stay away from downed power lines
-Wear protective clothing
-Be cautious with fallen branches
-Avoid standing water.
