Take the mystery out of fire by teaching children that it is a tool, not a toy. Practice safe cooking this #Thanksgiving and never leave children or pets unattended near operating stoves, grills or deep fryers, even for a short time.
Practice safe cooking this Thanksgiving. Home cooking fires happen most often on Thanksgiving. Stand by your pan: if you are cooking at high temperatures, turn off the burner before leaving the kitchen. Spanish-language safety graphic showing a woman and child standing next to a stovetop with a pot cooking. Text warns to be careful while cooking on Thanksgiving, noting that fires happen more often on this holiday. It advises watching pots and pans and turning off the burner if leaving the kitchen. Logos of FEMA, the U.S. Fire Administration, and ‘Fire is Everyone’s Fight’ appear at the bottom.

It's #WorldToiletDay ❕ Appreciate your toilets because they could go out during a disaster. Will you be prepared when plumbing is out and you need to conserve water? Prepare now and check your toilets for leaks. Leaky toilets usually can be fixed inexpensively by replacing the flapper.

Travel safe today. If you’re driving, biking, or walking take your time and look out for one another. Wearing bright colors can help you stand out in the rain. Also, stay away from flooded areas.

今日安全出行。您駕駛、騎單車或步行時，別着急，彼此互相照應。雨天穿著鮮色的衣物有助於增加您的辨識度。並且，遠離水浸區域。

Every year, on the 11th day of the 11th month, we commemorate the end of World War I. Here in the US we use this day to honor all our Veterans. DEM is lucky to have many employees continue to serve their country long after their time in the military has ended. To all DEM Veterans, we say Thank You!
Thank you Veterans. SF Department of Emergency Management honors our staff who have served. Happy Veterans Day.

A little foresight can go a long way — make a plan now, so you know how to find and get in touch with your people when something happens. The same connections that are important in everyday life — friends, family, neighbors — are even more crucial in a crisis.
