FEMA Urges Preparedness Ahead Multi-Day Severe Weather Outbreak; Extremely Critical Fire Weather Conditions
WASHINGTON -- A multi-day severe weather outbreak is expected in the Mississippi Valley into the Lower Ohio Valley this afternoon into Saturday and through the Central Gulf Coast states on Saturday.
The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center upgraded the threat of widespread damaging winds, large hail and a strong tornado threat across portions of Missouri and Illinois.
A tornado outbreak is possible on Saturday across central Gulf Coast states and deep south into the Tennessee Valley. Areas in eastern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama could experience strong, long-track tornadoes Saturday afternoon and evening.
Additionally, strong winds, low relative humidity and dry conditions will bring extremely critical fire weather conditions to the Southern Plains today. A wildfire outbreak is possible today across the Southern Plains as extremely critical fire weather conditions spread from the Texas Panhandle, North-Central Texas and into much of Oklahoma, southeast Kansas and western Missouri.
Tips to Stay Safe Before, During and After Tornadoes and WildfiresStay informed. Follow the instructions of state and local officials. They will provide the latest recommendations based on the threat to your community and appropriate safety measures. Monitor a NOAA weather radio, local radio or television stations for updated emergency information. Download the free FEMA App to receive real-time weather and emergency alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide.
Have a PlanTornadoes: Identify a safe shelter immediately, such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar or a small interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building. If you can’t stay at home, make plans to go to a public shelter or the home of friends, neighbors or family.
Wildfires: Be prepared to evacuate with little advance notice in case of a wildfire. Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands what to do if you need to quickly evacuate. Keep a kit with enough food, water, medicine and your important documents in a convenient place. Don’t forget to plan for your pets.
Protect YourselfTornadoes: If you are under a tornado or severe weather warning immediately go to the safe location you identified. Stay away from windows, doors and outside walls. Cover your head or neck with your arms and put materials such as furniture and blankets around or on top of you. Watch out for flying debris that can cause injury or death.
There is no safe option when caught in a tornado in a car, just slightly less-dangerous ones. Do not go under an overpass or bridge, which can create deadly traffic hazards while offering little protection against flying debris. You’re safer in a low, flat location.
Wildfires: Know your Evacuation Zone. You may have to evacuate quickly due to a wildfire. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with household, pets and identify where you will go.
If trapped, call 9-1-1 and give your location, but be aware that emergency response could be delayed or impossible.
Staying Safe After a Tornado or WildfireSave phone calls for emergencies. Use text messaging or social media to communicate with family and friends.
Pay attention to local authorities for updated information. Wait for further care instructions and continue to shelter in place or stay out of the area as appropriate.
Stay clear of fallen power lines or broken utility lines. They may be live and can cause serious injury or death.
Wear appropriate gear during clean-up such as thick-soled shoes, long pants and work gloves; use appropriate face coverings or masks to protect yourself from dust, mold or smoke.
After a wildfire, avoid hot ash, charred trees, smoldering debris and live embers. The ground may contain heat pockets that can burn you or spark another fire. Use a respirator to limit your exposure to ash, and wet debris to minimize breathing dust particles. People with asthma, COPD and/or other lung conditions should take precautions in areas with poor air quality, as it can worsen symptoms.

sarah.cleary Thu, 03/13/2025 - 20:46Public Invited to Appeal or Comment on Flood Maps in San Augustine County, Texas
DENTON, Texas – Preliminary flood risk information and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are available for review in San Augustine County, Texas. Residents and business owners are encouraged to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements.
The updated maps were produced in coordination with local, state and FEMA officials. Significant community review of the maps has already taken place, but before the maps become final, community residents can identify any concerns or questions about the information provided and participate in the 90-day appeal and comment period.
The 90-day appeal and comment period will begin on or around March 13, 2025.
Appeals and comments may be submitted through June 11, 2025, for:
- The city of San Augustine; the town of Broaddus; and the unincorporated areas of San Augustine County
Residents may submit an appeal if they consider modeling or data used to create the map to be technically or scientifically incorrect.
- An appeal must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim.
- Appeals cannot be based on the effects of proposed projects or projects started after the study is in progress.
- If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information — such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary — they can submit a written comment.
The next step in the mapping process is to resolve all comments and appeals. Once these are resolved, FEMA will notify communities of the effective date of the final maps.
To review the preliminary maps or submit appeals and comments, visit your local floodplain administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can identify your community FPA. Specialists are available by telephone at 877-FEMA-MAP (877-336-2627) or by email at FEMA-FMIX@fema.dhs.gov.
The preliminary maps may also be viewed online:
- The Flood Map Changes Viewer at http://msc.fema.gov/fmcv
- FEMA Map Service Center at http://msc.fema.gov/portal
- The Base Level Engineering-to-FIRM Viewer at https://webapps.usgs.gov/fema/ble_firm
For more information about the flood maps:
- Use a live chat service about flood maps at floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html (just click on the “Live Chat Open” icon).
- Contact a FEMA Map Specialist by telephone at 877-FEMA-MAP (877-336-2627) or by email at FEMA-FMIX@fema.dhs.gov.
There are cost-saving options available for those newly mapped into a high-risk flood zone. Learn more about your flood insurance options by talking with your insurance agent or visiting floodsmart.gov.

erika.osullivan Thu, 03/13/2025 - 14:26Prepare Now for Severe Weather Threat Starting Friday
CHICAGO – With a forecast for severe storms, heavy rains, high winds and even the potential for tornadoes in much of the Mississippi Valley eastward into the Lower Ohio Valley late Friday into early Saturday, it’s important for residents to take action and know what to do to stay safe.
“Pay attention to weather reports in your area and follow the directions of local and state officials,” said FEMA Region 5 Acting Regional Administrator Michael S. Chesney. “Ensure everyone in your family knows where to go for shelter, avoid unnecessary travel and stay alert for potential power outages.”
- Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts. If your community has sirens, become familiar with the warning tone.
- Identify sturdy buildings close to where you live, work, study and play. Pay attention to weather reports and warnings and be ready to take shelter immediately, if necessary.
- Make sure all mobile devices are fully charged before the storm. Have batteries and other alternative power sources to meet your needs in case the power goes out, such as a portable charger or power bank. Have flashlights for every household member.
- Take time now to bring outdoor items inside like potted plants, patio furniture, decorations and garbage cans. They can fly away in strong winds.
- Have a communications plan in place. Ensure everyone in your household knows where to go, what to do and how to reconnect after the storm. You can create and download a family plan at Make a Plan Form | Ready.gov.
- Do not walk, swim or drive through floodwaters. Watch for fallen power lines and trees. Report them immediately.
- After the storm and once it is safe to do so, check on family, neighbors and friends to make sure they’re okay.

erika.osullivan Wed, 03/12/2025 - 14:32FEMA Updates Flood Maps in Honolulu County
OAKLAND, Calif. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has delivered preliminary flood maps for the City and County of Honolulu. These maps identify revised flood hazards along various streams. The new maps will help building officials, contractors, and homeowners make informed mitigation decisions, thereby contributing to safer, more disaster-resilient communities.
Before the new Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) become effective, there will be a 90-day appeal period from March 13, 2025, to June 10, 2025. During this time, residents or businesses with supporting technical and scientific information—such as detailed hydraulic or hydrologic data—may appeal the flood risk information on the preliminary maps. The maps can be viewed at hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload/.
Flood hazards are dynamic and frequently change due to various factors, including weather patterns, erosion, and community development. Officials from FEMA and Honolulu County have worked together to provide updated information that accurately reflects the current flood risk. These changes may also impact future building standards and insurance requirements.
This local mapping project is part of a national effort led by FEMA to enhance public awareness of flood risks and support actions that mitigate the effects of flooding on new and existing structures. FEMA encourages residents to review the preliminary flood maps to better understand their local flood risks, potential future flood insurance requirements, and any concerns they may have regarding the information provided.
Flooding affects nearly every part of the nation. In fact, 98% of U.S. counties have experienced a flood event, making floods the most common and widespread weather-related natural disaster.
For more information, contact Dawn Takeuchi Apuna at the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting at (800) 768-8000 or dpp@honolulu.gov.

kelly.magarity Tue, 03/11/2025 - 18:19FEMA Assistance Available for Personal Property Loss
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Kentucky residents who experienced damage from the February severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides and mudslides may be eligible for FEMA assistance. Homeowners and renters in Breathitt, Clay, Estill, Floyd, Harlan, Johnson, Knott, Lee, Letcher, Martin, Owsley, Perry, Pike and Simpson counties are encouraged to apply.
FEMA assistance covers basic needs. It will not restore all disaster-related property loss. Insurance coverage is the best means to recover after a natural disaster. However, Personal Property Loss assistance may repair or replace disaster-damaged property if conditions meet the eligibility requirements, and the item(s) may fall within any of these categories:
- Appliances: Includes standard household appliances, such as a refrigerator, washing machine, etc.
- Clothing: Essential clothing needed due to overall loss, damage, or contamination.
- Home Furnishings: Basic furnishings found in a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room.
- Tools Required for Work and School: Tools and equipment required for your job and items required as a condition of an applicant’s or household member’s education. This assistance also applies to self-employed individuals.
- Computing Devices: Funds to cover replacement of one personal or family computer. Funds for additional computers required for work or school may be approved.
- Accessible Items: FEMA also provides assistance for damaged personal property required for qualified applicants with disabilities.
- To be eligible, these items must have been owned prior to February 14 and be damaged by the flooding.
- The item was owned and in use by occupants of the household.
- FEMA does not provide assistance for furnishings and/or appliances provided by a landlord.
- Items used by guests and relatives who were not members of the pre-disaster household are not eligible for assistance.
- FEMA may not repair or replace a storm-damaged item if residents own a similar item that works.
- Visit a FEMA Disaster Recovery Center. To find the nearest one, text your zip code to ‘43362’ or visit FEMA.gov/drc.
- Call FEMA at 800-621-3362. Multilingual operators are available. If you use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service.
- Apply at DisasterAssistance.gov.

sarah.cleary Tue, 03/11/2025 - 16:35Less Than Five Days Remain to Request Compensation for Damages from Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire
Deadline approaches for landowners' restoration plan requests from USDA
SANTA FE, N.M. — Individuals impacted by the 2022 Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire and subsequent flooding who have not yet filed a claim for damages have less than five days left to submit a Notice of Loss (NOL). The deadline to do so is March 14. After this date, it will no longer be possible to request compensation from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office, nor will requests for a no-cost flood insurance policy or a conservation restoration plan be accepted for eligible individuals.
“If you know a friend, family member, or neighbor who was impacted by the disaster and has not yet submitted a Notice of Loss, please encourage them to do so this week,” says Jay Mitchell, Director of Operations for the New Mexico Joint Recovery Office. “The funds are available to help them rebuild, but they must take this first step before March 14. If they have any questions or concerns, they can call the Claims Office Helpline to speak with someone who can assist them.”
There are several ways to submit an NOL—by email, mail, or in-person at a Claims Office. Most residents can complete the NOL form in less than 20 minutes. Supporting documentation is not needed at this stage. Submitting the NOL ensures that your claim is officially in process. Once submitted, you will be assigned a Navigator from the Claims Office who will guide you throughout the remainder of the process.
Individuals wishing to submit an NOL before Friday are encouraged to do so by email or in-person at a Claims Office. Claims Offices will be open this Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and do not require an appointment. Office locations can be found on the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office website fema.gov/hermits-peak. If you have any questions, you are encouraged to call the Claims Office helpline at (505) 995-7133. The helpline will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday.

In addition to seeking compensation for damages, claimants can also request a five-year flood insurance policy and conservation restoration plan for damage to their land. “Land is vital to the community and economic resilience of Northern New Mexico,” says Director Mitchell. “For eligible claimants, compensation is available to help cover the costs of these programs, which are designed to restore and strengthen the land for future generations.” More information about these programs is available on the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office website Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office | FEMA.gov.

Don’t wait—submit your NOL today to begin your recovery. The Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act provides that the value of compensation is not considered income or resources for taxation purposes. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions regarding your tax obligations for compensation received.
The Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office is committed to meeting the needs of people impacted by the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire and subsequent flooding by providing full compensation available under the law as expeditiously as possible. At the time of publication, the FEMA Claims Office has paid $1.97 billion to claimants.

erika.suzuki Tue, 03/11/2025 - 14:24FEMA Teams Visiting Neighborhoods Affected by February Flooding
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Kentucky residents are starting to see FEMA crews in neighborhoods, helping those affected by the February severe storms and flooding apply for federal disaster assistance in Breathitt, Clay, Estill, Floyd, Harlan, Johnson, Knott, Lee, Letcher, Martin, Owsley, Perry, Pike and Simpson counties.
FEMA personnel are visiting the disaster affected areas to help homeowners and renters apply with FEMA and quickly identify and address immediate and emerging needs. They also can provide application status updates and referrals to additional community resources.
FEMA teams will never ask for or accept money and will always be wearing a FEMA identification badge with a photograph. A FEMA shirt, vest or jacket is not proof of identity. While helping someone apply, they will ask for personal information, including social security number, annual income and bank information. Residents are encouraged to ask for identification before providing any personal information. They can also call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 to verify a FEMA visit is legitimate.
If you believe you are the victim of a scam, report it immediately to your local police or sheriff’s department, or contact the Office of the Attorney General by calling 502-696-5485 or visit its website at Natural Disaster Scams - Kentucky Attorney General. To file a fraud complaint, go online to Scam Report (kentucky.gov).
If you suspect fraudulent activity involving FEMA, you can report it to the FEMA Fraud Branch at: StopFEMAFraud@fema.dhs.gov, fax: 202- 212-4926 or write to: FEMA Fraud and Internal Investigation Division, 400 C Street SW Mail Stop 3005, Washington, DC 20472-3005.
The first step to receive FEMA assistance is to apply. There are four ways to apply: you can apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov, by using the FEMA mobile app, visiting a Disaster Recovery Center or calling 800-621-3362. If you use a relay service, such as Video Relay Service (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.

sarah.cleary Mon, 03/10/2025 - 13:26FEMA to Host Housing Resource Fair Mar. 15 in Vidalia
FEMA is hosting a Housing Resource Fair from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Mar. 15, in Vidalia at the following location:
EMA/EMS Building
509 Maple Drive
Vidalia, GA 30474
The Housing Resource Fair will bring together federal, state and local agencies in one place to offer services and resources to families recovering from Hurricane Helene.
The goal of this collaborative effort is to help connect eligible disaster survivors with affordable housing along with valuable information and resources on their road to recovery.
Survivors will meet with local housing organizations, property owners and landlords, as well as gain information on the HEARTS Georgia Sheltering Program, and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
The Housing Resource Fair is an opportunity for survivors to:
- Explore affordable housing options and rental assistance programs.
- Meet with representatives from local housing organizations, landlords and property managers.
- Gain access to resources for displaced individuals and families.
- Learn about community partners that will provide educational funding resources to attendees.
For FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Kevin Wallace, the Housing Resource Fair will give survivors that needed one-on-one experience: “We want survivors to know we are here for them and want to see the best outcome, which is moving into safe, sanitary and functioning housing,” he said. “We will walk them through their options to ensure they are aware of the resources that are available to fit their need.”
Anyone who was affected by Tropical Storm Debby or Hurricane Helene, whether they have applied for FEMA assistance or not, is welcome to attend.
FEMA is committed to ensuring disaster assistance is accomplished in an impartial manner, without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, disability, English proficiency, or economic status. Any disaster survivor or member of the public may contact the FEMA Office of Civil Rights if they feel that they have a complaint of discrimination. FEMA’s Office of Civil Rights can be contacted at FEMA-OCR-ECRD@fema.dhs.gov or toll-free at 833-285-7448.
