Too hot to go outside? Thunderstorms? Take a break and watch some really cool bears–cooled by the Brooks River in Alaska! If that’s not enough, choose from the nearly 20 cameras available all over the world.

3.5 Preparedness: September is Preparedness Month in Virginia
Coming right up before you know it is September, Preparedness Month in Virginia. Hurricane season runs through November 1 and recent storms have shown us how an emergency can crop up any time with very little warning. State of Virginia websites have step-by-step, detailed information to guide families in preparing a kit for all sorts of emergencies. Kids can help a lot; make it a family project and a challenge, not a scary emergency! For a fill-in or downloadable family emergency plan worksheet, go to ReadyVirginia.gov and click on “Make a Plan.”
