Heat and humidity ramp up to a MAJOR Risk (Level 3/4) this coming Tuesday for most of the Mid-South and will persist through late week. 🌡️ This is our first real taste of summertime heat—now is the time to prepare! Check on neighbors, hydrate, and never leave kids or pets in vehicles. Stay weather aware!

June is National Month! Show them extra love by creating a pet emergency kit ❤️🐶🐱
