One of the first signs of heat illness is muscle cramps, so if you start cramping up it's time to act:

— Get someplace cooler, stat ☃️

It's the first day of hurricane season and because weather can be cruel, we do have to be ready for hurricanes even though we're landlocked. 😒🙄

In Pennsylvania, that means prepping for winds and flooding.

A few ways to be ready for hurricane season:
1. Gather basic emergency supplies at home, for the car, and at work 🔦
2. Have at least 2 reliable ways to get weather alerts 🤳
3. Take steps to protect your home from severe weather 🛠️
