Today is #ImagineADayWithoutWater. But don't just imagine it. Be prepared! Use today to take stock of how much water you have stored. Experts recommend storing 1 gallon per person or pet, per day—for at least 3 days.

As #WeekWithoutDriving comes to a close, keep the momentum going by finding more opportunities to make public transit a part of your everyday life. Whether it’s your daily commute, a weekend outing, or your next trip across the region, every ride is one more chance to leave the car behind and experience how easy it can be to let Metro do the driving instead.
