During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. Stay Weather-Ready by learning the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses. Link: weather.gov/safety/heat-illn… #HeatSafety
Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. Act fast by moving to a cooler area, loosening clothing, sipping cool water. Seek medical help if symptoms don't improve. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and becoming unconscious. Act fast by calling 911, moving the person to a cooler area, loosening clothing and removing extra layers, and cooling with water or ice. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given.

You can play a large role in how your neighbors fare before, during and after a hurricane. Link: noaa.gov/use-caution-after-s… #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong
Hurricane Preparedness - Use Caution After Storms. If you evacuated, only return home when directed that it's safe to do so. Remain vigilant, as hazards remain: heat, downed power lines, floodwaters, and more. Clean up safely: don't push yourself, and check on neighbors. Only use generators outdoors, 20 feet from your home. Prepare for the likelihood that help and communications may not be available.

Be prepared for hurricane season by knowing what to do during a storm. Whether you’ve evacuated or are sheltering in place, know what to expect from the hazards you may face. Link: noaa.gov/stay-protected-duri… #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong
Hurricane Preparedness - Stay Protected During Storms. Stay in your safe places from water and wind. Have a way to get weather alerts and forecast updates. Keep in mind that impacts can be felt far from the coast. Listen to local officials and avoid travel unless ordered to evacuate.

🌧️ Water accounts for ~90% of deaths from Atlantic tropical cyclones. Inland flooding is the most deadly and serious threat that hurricanes bring to the inland Carolinas. The amount of rain a tropical storm produces is NOT related to its category. Turn around, don't drown!
Image shows how that even inland, you are not immune to flooding. It doesn't take a major hurricane to cause major impacts to an area. Even relatively weak tropical systems can produce vast amounts of rainfall well inland from the coast, leading to devastating flooding.

Never underestimate the power of water! Only 6 inches of fast-moving water can knock over and carry away an adult. Only 12 inches of fast-moving water can carry away a small car, with 18-24 inches overtaking large SUVs, vans, and trucks.

Prepare for hurricane season by knowing how to understand forecasts. They can tell you a lot about what is expected, including the storm’s path, rainfall amounts, wind speeds, and more. Link: noaa.gov/understand-forecast… #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong
Hurricane Preparedness - Understand Forecast Information. Rely on forecasts from the National Hurricane Center and your local NWS office. Know your alerts & the difference between a Watch and Warning. Focus on potential impacts, regardless of storm size or category. Know that deadly hazards occur well outside of the Forecast Cone.

It's Hurricane Prep Week! The first step of preparing for hurricanes is to know your risk. Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem, so find out today what types of water & wind hazards could happen where YOU live. Link: noaa.gov/know-your-risk-wate… #HurricaneStrong #HurricanePrep
Hurricane Preparedness - Know Your Risk: Water & Wind. Consider your threats: storm surge, flooding from heavy rain, strong winds, tornadoes, rip currents. Determine if you live in a flood-prone area. Find out if you live in an evacuation zone. Identify your home's structural risk (mobile homes & basements can be especially vulnerable)

The best time to prepare for hurricanes is BEFORE hurricane season begins. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late. Link: noaa.gov/prepare-before-hurr… #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong
Hurricane Preparedness - Prepare Before Hurricane Season. Develop an evacuation plan. Assemble disaster supplies: food, water, batteries, charger, radio, cash. Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions. Create a communication plan with a hand-written list of contacts. Strengthen your home.

We are shocked and saddened by the passing of Garret Anderson, a 17-year MLB veteran and a standout member of the 2002 World Series champion Angels. A Los Angeles native, Anderson debuted with the Angels in 1994 and spent 15 of his 17 Major League seasons with the team. He finished his career with the Braves and Dodgers, amassing 2,529 hits and a .293 career batting average. Anderson was a 3-time All-Star. In 2003, Anderson won the Home Run Derby, and as the starting left fielder for the AL, he went 3-for-4 with a home run to capture game MVP honors. A member of the Angels Hall of Fame, he holds several franchise records including games played (2,013), hits (2,368), doubles (489), extra-base hits (796), RBI (1,292), and total bases (3,743). In Game 7 of the 2002 World Series, it was Anderson’s 3-run double that provided the winning margin in a 4-1 victory to clinch the first championship in Angels history. He was 53 years old.
