Some advice from Preparedness Pup, Murphy 🐾 Check your emergency kit – snacks included (VERY important).🐾 Know where your safe place is for storms.🐾 Keep a flashlight handy in case the lights go out.🐾 Give your pup (& kitties too) an extra treat…you know… just in case.

Happy #PlantAFlowerDay! Today is the perfect day to plant something beautiful & start thinking about how gardens can help grow more than just flowers. Join us for our upcoming “Where Does Your Garden Grow” Training. More details can be found at OKMRC.org.

Know your safe space at home before storms arrive. During blue sky days, identify the safest place to shelter & make sure everyone in your household knows the plan. Practice it so when severe weather hits, it’s less scary and everyone knows exactly where to go. #BePrepared
