The term 500-year flood doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s only going to happen once every 500 years– it’s actually a reference to the probability of occurrence. #WeatherReady

There are aspects of wildfire preparation, like using fire-resistant landscaping around your home, that aren’t possible for everyone. However, there are also small, potentially life-saving decisions that anyone can make. #WeatherReady

Las inundaciones costeras son inundaciones a lo largo de la costa, y pueden ser causadas por marejadas ciclónicas, vientos hacia la costa, oleaje fuerte o mareas astronómicas altas. Si se esperan inundaciones costeras en su área, tome acción. #WeatherReady

If coastal flooding is expected, be prepared. Elevate your belongings off the ground, move your car to higher ground, and have an evacuation plan. #WeatherReady

Not all beaches have lifeguards. The chance of drowning at a beach is five times greater when no lifeguard is on duty. Here are some helpful tips for going swimming when there is no lifeguard.

When fog reduces your visibility while driving, slow down and do not change lanes or pass other vehicles unless absolutely necessary. Be sure that you can stop within the distance that you can see. #WeatherReady

If wildfires are threatening your area, stay informed of evacuation orders. Leave immediately when asked to avoid being caught in fire, smoke, or road congestion. Have an emergency supply kit in your vehicle and know your evacuation route.

Hurricanes that are far away can still create deadly rip currents and waves. Never assume that the ocean is safe, even if the weather is nice. Check the forecast before you go.

¿Sabía usted que los huracanes categoría 5 que han afectado a Estados Unidos eran tormentas tropicales mucho más débiles a solo 72 horas antes? Esté preparado, mucho antes de la tormenta.

Did you know that the Category 5 hurricanes that have struck the United States were much weaker tropical storms just 72 hours prior? Storms can intensify surprisingly quickly — stay #WeatherReady by being prepared well ahead of time.

While lots of snow in the middle of winter can cause dangerous travel conditions, the first snow of the season can also cause accidents. Be careful as you and other drivers adjust to driving in poor conditions. Don’t let the first snow sneak up on you! #WeatherReady
