Before working outdoors this weekend, ask yourself these questions: Do you have an adequate water supply? Is there shade available to you? Do you know all the symptoms of heat illness? And finally, who to contact in case of an Emergency? 🥵🌞#dfwwx weather.gov/heatsafety

After a disaster, it is possible to be stranded without assistance for an extended period. To ensure your family's safety, it is essential to have food, water, & other necessary supplies that can sustain you for several days. Use the list provided: ready.gov #Plano

This is a friendly reminder to turn off your sprinklers during the cold snap. Water that lands on sidewalks and streets turns to ice and makes it slick and hazardous for pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists. #Plano #dfwwx

Planning to use a generator if the power goes out? Be sure to operate them safely - they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if used incorrectly.

It’s always good to be prepared! Just in case your pipes freeze, check out this short video from @PlanoFireRescue on how to shut off your water 👇🏼

Check out this video on shutting off the water to your home. Your valve is located in the front yard (most likely b/w the sidewalk and street) and will be under the round, black cover marked Water Meter. Stay safe and warm and don't forget to check on your friends and neighbors👍
