> The Maryland Department of Agriculture will do an "off schedule" spraying for mosquitoes in the areas between Route 1 and the Railroad tracks on Thursday, July 26th after 7:30 pm, weather permitting. If they are unable to spray on Thursday, spraying will take place on Sunday, July 29th, after 7:30 pm, weather permitting.

> Residents should take the usual steps to reduce the presence of mosquitoes on their property. For example, residents must keep their property free of mosquitoes breeding containers, stagnant water, bird baths, wading pools, pet watering dishes, tin cans, old tires, clogged gutters or flower pots. Other water holding containers should be stored upside down.

> PHILADELPHIA - If you have been watching the news, then you know that the threat of a flood in your neighborhood is a very real possibility. Some communities are responding to flooding right this minute. At the same time, other areas in the region are still recovering from floods earlier in the year. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III office continues to actively monitor these developments as we share tools on how to prepare for a flood before it occurs, survive during flooding and how to remain safe after flooding.
> [Title: Graphics: Floods are common [Square] - Description: Arial image shows a flooded neighborhood from the sky. Water covers the yards and roads. Text reads: Floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. Sign up for alerts and warnings now. #BeInformed Ready logo.]FEMA and the National Weather Service (NWS) have a variety of tools to help you prepare for flooding. Start by being informed - know your risk, where turn for the latest information, and what you should do if flooding impacts you. "Flooding is the most common and costliest disaster in the United States - it can occur in any community at any time. In a flood, your life depends on being prepared which is why we encourage individuals, commuters, families, and communities to prepare," stated FEMA Region III Regional Administrator MaryAnn Tierney. Know the terms for flooding:
>
> * Flood Watch - flooding is possible; remain alert and stay tuned to official information sources for the latest.
>
> * Flood Warning - flooding is occurring or will soon; take action now, move to higher ground and take steps to stay safe.
>
> * Flash Flood Warning - a flash flood is imminent or occurring; take action now and move immediately to higher ground.
>
> * Flood Advisory - flooding is not expected to be bad enough for a warning; remain alert.
> [Title: Graphic: 3 Fast Flood Facts - Description: This graphic shows a white car driving on a black road, with rain falling around it. The background is dark blue and the car's headlights are on. The heading, "3 Fast Flood Facts," is overlaid on gray clouds. The FEMA seal is in the bottom right corner. The text reads as follows: Heavy rain can bring dangerous flash flooding. 6 inches of moving water can knock a person down. 2 feet of moving water can sweep a vehicle away. Whether you're walking or driving, stay clear of floodwater. Share these facts with friends so they're safe too.]The NWS' Flood Safety Tips and Resources (www.Weather.gov/safety/flood<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.weather.gov%2Fsafety%2Fflood&data=02%7C01%7CALHolt%40co.pg.md.us%7C049360aeace54fd42da708d5f19424ed%7C4146bddaddc14d2aa1b21a64cc3c837b%7C0%7C0%7C636680540951176966&sdata=STm%2B7EbG6oh34pXA1tLB5moNfsTUilBdBBgVPoBu1ZE%3D&reserved=0>) and FEMA's Ready Flood Toolkit (www

> Being prepared for potential flooding means taking action now. Many simple actions can prepare you for potential floods and protect lives and property from the impacts of flood waters. "Sign up to get emergency alerts from your local government. Don't attempt to drive through flood waters, risking your life and that of those who could have to rescue you. Considering purchasing flood insurance, which provides the best protection against financial ruin after a flood," stated Tierney. Check with your local officials for the latest information, and sign up for emergency alerts - these can come through to your phone to update you on potential flood risks. Follow official sources for weather updates as well - as rain continues to accumulate, water may rise and inundate streets and bridges. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads - just one foot of water can sweep your vehicle away and it can be difficult to determine how deep the water may be.
> Flooding can be dangerous, but being prepared can greatly reduce that risk. Multiple accessible tools by FEMA and the NWS can help you stay informed and be prepared.

> As FEMA and the NWS continue to monitor the effects of the past few days' precipitation on the region, as well as the rain forecast to impact the region, take steps to protect yourself and stay safe. Flooding can happen at any time, and being prepared ensures you, your family, community, and business are able to adapt to changing conditions and be resilient before, during, and after flood events.
