 INFORMATION PROVIDED BY FEMA INDIVIDUAL & COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS

Fall into a safe season with these preparedness tips. As temperatures drop, trees start losing leaves and daylight hours decrease, it's time to prepare for the unique risks fall can bring. Fall can bring unpredictable storms, heavy rainfall, strong winds and early season snowstorms. These can lead to power outages, flooding, and fallen trees that can disrupt daily life and cause damages to homes and infrastructure. Follow these tips to stay prepared for the new season and hazards.

​

Home Heating Safety

The changing seasons can also bring a transition from outdoor to indoor activities, which can introduce new safety hazards such as home heating. Whether you use a furnace, fireplace or space heater, it's important to ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning correctly, and fire extinguishers are readily accessible.

​

Fall Storms

Fall can bring unpredictable weather patterns. Be aware of your risks to hazards like floods, hurricanes, and other severe weather. Keep an eye on weather forecasts.
