NEVER drive around barricades into floodwaters! Most flood fatalities are vehicle-related. It takes only 12 inches of fast-moving water to carry off a small car and 18 inches of water to sweep a larger vehicle away. Turn Around, Don’t Drown! #txwx

Navigating an unfamiliar area? Pickpockets thrive at your confusion. Don't make yourself an easy target! - If someone bumps into you unnecessarily, immediately check your valuables. - Keep your purse or bag close to your body, with the strap diagonally across your chest. This makes it much harder for someone to snatch it. - Avoid leaving your phone on a restaurant table or hanging your bag on the back of a chair. .... ¿Está en una zona desconocida? Los carteristas se aprovechan de la confusión. ¡No se convierta en un blanco fácil! - Si alguien le empuja sin motivo, busque inmediatamente sus objetos de valor. - Manténga su bolsa o mochila cerca del cuerpo, con la correa en diagonal sobre el pecho. Así será mucho más difícil que alguien se la arrebate. - Evite dejar el teléfono sobre la mesa de un restaurante o colgar su bolsa en el respaldo de una silla.
