That grease you pour down the drain doesn’t disappear. It can cool and cling to what’s already stuck, especially wipes, turning small buildups into major blockages. Save yourself stress (and protect local infrastructure): cool it, collect it, trash it—and never flush wipes.

🌊 Flash floods can happen anywhere! ⚠️ It only takes 6” of water to sweep you away & 12” to move a car. 🚫 If you see water on the road: Turn Around, Don’t Drown. 📦 Update kits with food, water & safety tools. Know your risk: bit.ly/FloodProneZone #MDReady #FloodSafety
