Stay safe, everyone! If you need to use a ladder ahead of the hurricane while securing your home, remember: safety first! Secure it properly, have someone spot you, and only climb if it’s absolutely necessary. Your safety is the priority.

Spring is here and mosquitoes are active! Fight the bite now!
Dump and drain water after it rains and toss anything in your yard that can collect standing water. Mosquitoes can breed and grow in even small amounts of water, such as a plastic bottle cap.
