Wake up, babe. The 2024 Atlantic tropical cyclone name list dropped. 🌀📃 #pawx

Where to shelter in a tornado warning:

🏡 In a home, get to the basement.
No basement? Get to an interior room with no windows

🏢 In a high-rise, get to the lowest floor. Opt for a hallway in the center of building

🚃 In a mobile home, leave for a nearby, sturdy building

It doesn't take long for a parked car without a/c running to get dangerously hot, even on mild days. 🥵

🚫 Don't leave pets or kids behind.
🤳 Call 911 if you're concerned about a pet or child.

🗣 YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH:

When accidentally calling 911, just STAHP and wait for the operator.

Don't hang up. Let them know you called by mistake.

Something I love about emergency management is that we have to work together to get things done.

Here at PA Emergency Management Agency we're working with Delaware River Basin Commission to mitigate flood risk along the Delaware River.

For every $1 we spend on this project, we expect to save $6 in post-disaster recovery
