It's a little bit of everything this week... rain, more rain, and then some heat headed our way! Remember, if you come across flooded roads, turn around and don't drown. As temps climb, start thinking about heat safety now. #HamCoEM #WeatherReady #INwx #FloodSafety #HeatAwareness

It's raining a lot this morning! Heavy rain means slick roads and low visibility. Give yourself extra time and avoid flooded areas. Even a small amount of water can stall your car or sweep it off the road. • Slow down • Turn on your headlights • Increase following distance

Lithium Battery Safety While Charging The busier we become, the more useful our battery‑powered devices are. Having the ability to grab a fully charged device on your way out the door is priceless, but charging them safely is just as important.

Why do we sound the sirens for a Severe Thunderstorm Warning with a Destructive Tag? These types of storms have the potential for 80mph winds and/or baseball-sized hail. To put that in perspective, an EF-0 tornado has winds up to 65mph. These storms are incredibly dangerous.
