🚫 DON’T go outside now, but when it is safe to drive again, treat each traffic light like this:
🚦
Light Out: 4-way stop
Flashing Red: Stop sign
Flashing Yellow: Slow down, use caution
Stop sign toppled? Treat it like a 4-way stop too. 🛑

🚨 If you use a generator, make sure you’re SAFE. 🚨
We know many have lost power in #HurricaneIan. That loss is nothing compared to losing your life.
Protect yourself & your loved ones. Generator danger is real, & we want you to survive this storm, during & after.
#StaySafe
After #HurricaneIan passes, be careful going outside. Make sure to avoid downed power lines, avoid standing water, stay clear of trees, do not drive in standing water and keep generators 20 feet outside of your home.
