Heat is the leading weather-related killer in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year. Heat can be very taxing on the body and can lead to heat related illnesses or make existing health conditions worse. #BeatTheHeat, #HeatSafety

Thunderstorms can escalate quickly. Clear skies can quickly turn dark and ominous, whether due to pop-up thunderstorms or squall lines. Be prepared! Set up a way to get weather warnings on your phone. When alerted to a storm, get inside a sturdy building immediately. Stay away from windows once indoors. If a building isn't nearby, get inside a vehicle.
