If you use in-home medical devices and/or are medically vulnerable, utility companies can flag your account so that you are prioritized in the event of outages and emergencies.

Call your electric and gas companies and ask what supports may be available to you!

Now is the time to prepare. Make sure you have working flashlights. Make sure you have a plan to clear your home vents from snow. Make sure your neighbors do too.

Carbon monoxide deaths spike during power outages.

If you own a portable generator, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars.
The latest on the major winter storm and extreme cold expected later this week.

1. Time for a #flu update. 🧵
#CDC was informed of 15 more pediatric flu deaths in the week ending 1/10, which brings this season's total to date to 32. This number, sadly, will continue to climb because kids & teens have borne the brunt of this flu season.
90% of the kids who've died weren't vaxed

Dr. Faust notes in a follow-up post: “The Yale School of Public Health has been tracking measles outbreaks across the country. MedPage Today reporters put those data into a map that's updated weekly to show where the worst outbreaks are happening.”

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

When shown photos of the suspect, one Brown Univ. shooting victim “quickly froze, physically pushed back .. and was tearing up and shaking.”

Another victim “shut his eyes, changed his breathing pattern, and confirmed that the shooter he saw in the hallway appeared to be the person in the photos.”
