🔥 What makes aerosol cans a fire risk? Many aerosol cans use flammable gases like propane or butane to push the product out. These cans under pressure w/ heat & flames can create a dangerous combo. Safely store & dispose of yours: dtsc.ca.gov/aerosol-can-wast… #FirePreventionMonth

🌧️Rain is in the forecast for much of California Wednesday and Thursday according to @NWS, bringing the potential for mudslides and debris flows, especially near recent burn scars. During this El Niño-driven storm season, @Cal_OES reminds you to stay aware of the risks and sign up for emergency alerts at Ready.ca.gov.

The State Water Board took conservation actions that helped California’s residential and commercial properties save 25% more water during the 2012-16 extreme drought than had ever been saved before.  Now 18% of that water conservation remains even without a drought.

🙌🏼 State Parks to the rescue! 🦨 This skunk got its head stuck inside a plastic bottle at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park this past weekend. Luckily, staff were able to safely remove it and they didn’t get sprayed!
