Is your source for weather information reliable?🤔⛈️

Social media can be overwhelmed with dubious weather information.

For accurate information that can help you make decisions, rely on your National Weather Service forecasts at weather.gov and other trusted local and national sources.

-Build or refresh that emergency kit (yes, check the snacks)
-Make a plan everyone actually understands
