Fall Severe Weather Safety and Preparedness Campaign 2024:

The Fall Severe Weather Safety and Preparedness Campaign runs from September 30th through October 4th. This is an opportunity to increase awareness and promote preparedness of severe weather hazards during the fall season and also to generate an increase in the level of response to watches and warnings.

During this week, we will be sending out daily graphics on our social media platforms (Facebook & Twitter). The graphics we plan on sending each day are in the tabs below. Please Share/Retweet to share this knowledge with others.

We will host a Facebook Live Session at 7:00 pm CDT on Monday, September 30th to discuss awareness and preparedness for the upcoming fall severe weather season as well as answer your questions. Click here to RSVP!
