Once you are free of the current, turn and head toward shore. If you feel you can’t make it, wave and call out for help. #WaterSafety 6 hours ago

If you are caught in a rip current, stay calm & don't fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until you're out of current. #WaterSafety 10 hours ago

Meteorologists all over Boston are telling us we could be in for a historical blizzard tomorrow, and we want to make sure you’re prepared.

Make a plan: If possible, make arrangements to work from home on Friday. If you have to go in, be sure to pay attention to weather alerts.
Make a kit: Jacket, gloves, mittens, hat, water resistant boots – gather everything you’d need to brave the elements.
Don’t forget food: Hit up the grocery store, grab your essentials. Make sure they include batteries, flashlights, a radio, canned goods and a can opener.
Charge your phone: If you lose power, you’ll still have a way to communicate and get information.
Check in: Be sure to check on elderly neighbors and family members.
