Today is the first day of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season. We encourage everyone to be prepared by following @Readygov: https://t.co/YbTCtJCzgd for tips to protect yourself & your family. Stay up to date with the latest forecasts from: @NHC_Atlantic: https://t.co/V7qLSU9QrI
During major events, clear and timely information can keep you safe! FEMA external affairs teams have been working closely with @DHSgov, @whtaskforcefifa, and state & local partners this past year to exercise coordination of public messaging during #FIFAWorldCup. ⚽
In March, we awarded $625 million to empower all 11 #FIFAWorldCup host cities to strengthen security preparations at match venues, hotels and transportation hubs. These funds will enable state and local officials to keep residents and visitors safe throughout the tournament.
Yesterday, FEMA welcomed Rose Bowl Stadium leaders & @PasadenaFD Chief Chad Augustin to discuss lessons learned from the LA wildfires. FEMA thanked local partners for their service & coordination, including the Rose Bowl’s role as a staging area for firefighters & survivors.
Our goal for the #FIFAWorldCup is to make sure that everyone has a safe and unforgettable experience. To support security, medical services and disaster preparedness in the 11 U.S. host cities, we’ve provided nearly $850 million in grants and will be at every match.
This week, @FEMA leadership joined @NOAA, @USCG, @MiamiDadeEM, @ReadyBroward & emergency managers in Florida to discuss hurricane readiness as the 2026 season begins. Preparedness is strongest when federal, state & local partners are aligned before, during and after storms. 🤝🤝
For more than a year, we’ve been supporting @WHTaskForceFIFA and working with state and local officials in the 11 #FIFAWorldCup host cities to help plan for emergencies, train first responders and ensure that every stadium is safe and secure. Learn more: https://t.co/Z91dUxDIvI
By working in partnership to remove barriers, we’re helping survivors return home sooner and building a future where post-disaster housing is resilient, efficient, and ready when needed most.
We recently participated in a roundtable bringing together leaders from government, construction, insurance, nonprofits, and academia to address ways to help communities rebuild safer, faster, and more affordably after disasters.
For large-scale disasters, modular construction or other industrialized housing construction can be deployed quickly to help survivors with faster, more affordable, and resilient housing than traditional construction methods.
A Major Disaster Declaration has been declared for Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes and the Crow Tribe of Montana for severe winter storms and straight line winds.

Hurricane readiness starts before a storm. FEMA leaders met with @NWSNHC Director Dr. Michael Brennan today to discuss hurricane season & how communities can stay safe. FEMA is ready to support state, local, tribal & territorial partners this 2026 hurricane season.
.@POTUS recently approved federal funds to support areas affected by disasters, including Individual Assistance for eligible survivors in:
Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes and the Crow Tribe of Montana: https://t.co/mRQnan4iYx
The San Carlos Apache: https://t.co/vbUg3ZGc4Y
These funds also provide Public Assistance support to state, local and tribal governments to help their affected communities recover and rebuild, including Delaware, Kentucky and the Native Village of Kipnuk.
Preparedness starts long before a storm is in the forecast. Having insurance is one of the most important tools to protect your home. After Hurricane Helene, over 1.49 million survivors applied for FEMA assistance, highlighting the significant recovery needs disasters can create.
