Zombie fires aren’t a mashup Halloween costume. They burn underground in winter & reignite when temperatures rise. Even outside of traditional wildfire season, it’s important to always be prepared (1/2)

Two storm systems may bring hazardous weather to the Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies and Upper Midwest today. Check your local forecast if you plan to travel and only hit the road if conditions are safe. Allow extra time, pack an emergency kit and have a backup plan.
A Pacific storm will continue to bring rain and high elevation snow from the Pacific Northwest into the Northern Rockies Wednesday. Further east, another storm will sweep a cold front across the Upper Midwest with areas of showers and thunderstorms. weather.gov

After a flood, your insurance adjuster should be a trusted partner in your recovery — but scammers may look to take advantage of that trust. Stay alert. 1/4

Keep these things in mind: - Verify their credentials before the inspection begins. - Adjusters will never ask for your Social Security number or bank details. - You should not be charged for an adjusters visit. 3/4
