The April 8 total solar eclipse is only four days away! 🌒 Here are some essential eclipse tips to help you have an amazing experience. Share this post to spread the word! arkansas.com/eclipse

🕶️ Accidents happen, and your eclipse glasses could get lost or damaged. Make sure you have a spare pair so you can enjoy the eclipse safely!

🗺️ Bring a paper map of where you are going or download directions to your phone ahead of time. Cell service could be spotty because of the large crowds.

💵 Carry some cash! ATMs will be overloaded, and tap to pay may be disrupted if cell service goes out.

🚗 Crowds are inevitable — give yourself plenty of time to get to your viewing spot. After the eclipse, stay put for a while and avoid the traffic rush.

💊 Bring everything essential with you — don't think, “We’ll just pick up what we need when we get there.” Stores, pharmacies and restaurants may have limited services or long lines due to high demand.

⛽️ Fill up before the eclipse. Gas stations will be busy, and traffic will be slow. Don't run out of gas — just plan ahead with a full tank.
