Traveling during the holidays?

Are you traveling by car during the holidays? Before you hit the road, take a few minutes to get prepared. Do these things:

The Ready Campaign is a national public service campaign designed to educate and empower the American people to prepare for, respond to and mitigate emergencies, including natural and man-made disasters. The goal of the campaign is to promote preparedness through public involvement. Many campaign resources are available at ready.gov Many of them are available in languages other than English. Access a drop-down menu of languages at the top right hand corner of the web page.

 

Shop Securely Online Over the Holidays

If you are shopping online this holiday season, connect with care.

  • Do your online shopping at home, and make sure your home wireless network is protected.
  • Be cautious online. During the holidays, scammers may send fake emails that are too good to be true. Don’t click on links!
  • Set strong passwords and change your password often. Do not set passwords that will be easy for cyber criminals to guess.
  • Too good to be true?  It probably is.  Shop online through trusted retailers to avoid getting scammed.
