As we monitor the potential impacts from Hurricane Isaias, now is the time to prepare:

🔋 Charge your phones and power banks.
🔦 Check your flashlights and have extra batteries ready.
🏡 Secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and anything that could blow away.
💊 Make sure you have necessary medications.
🐾 Stock up on pet food and other pet supplies.
🥫 Keep enough food, drinking water, and essential supplies on hand in case of a power outage.

📢 Stay AWARE, Stay PREPARED, Chester County!
