 I'm Adam Cranfield with Cal OES. This week marks the end of the hottest month in Earth's recorded history. In California last month, 117 high temperature records were tied and 241 high temperature records were broken. We'll experience another warming trend this weekend, so make sure you and your loved ones are prepared. If you have to be outside, drink plenty of water, only go out in the early mornings or evenings and wear light, loose-fitting clothing. Until this week, we saw Swifties go crazy during Taylor Swift concerts, creating seismic activity also known as Swiftquakes along the West Coast. This is a fun reminder to sign up for alerts from California's Earthquake Early Warning Program. You'll get an alert on your mobile device before an earthquake begins, giving you life-saving seconds to shake it out, shake it out. By dropping, covering, and holding on. And as we head into August, students will be returning to school this month. This is a great opportunity to grab an extra backpack that you can use as a go-bag in case of an emergency. Fill it with essential items that will help you if you must evacuate your home. Those items start with medicines, important documents, a first aid kit, and pet supplies if necessary.
