The most common weather threat to Pennsylvania is flooding.
With more severe weather threats in spring and summer, now is a good time to prepare for floods. Simple things you can do:
1. Have at least 2 ways to get weather alerts 🤳
2. Consider flood insurance 🤔
3. Stock up on emergency supplies 🔦
4. Never willingly enter flood water. Turn around, don't drown ⛔
5. Know what to do if you lose power 💡m
