🌀 It's too early to know if tropical weather will form this weekend, but it's never too early to prepare your family and home.

Hurricane season is underway, and the best time to prepare is before a storm is in the forecast.

🎒 Preparedness: Gas up your vehicle and update your emergency kit with enough food, water, medications, batteries, and pet supplies for at least 72 hours. Don’t forget to keep cash on hand as restaurants/stores may not be able to take credit cards during power or Wifi outages.

Preparation today will make a big difference tomorrow.

🌪️ Tornado Watch or Tornado Warning?

Knowing the difference could save valuable time during severe weather.

🟡 WATCH = Conditions are favorable for a tornado. Be prepared.

🔴 WARNING = A tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar. Take shelter immediately.

Severe weather in the wake of Tropical Storm Arthur is a reminder to review your tornado safety plan.

This week, our team is coast to coast, advancing the resilience conversation.

Along the Gulf Coast, team members are supporting the 2026 NOAA Hurricane Awareness Tour in Sarasota, FL; Mobile, AL; and Lake Charles, LA — sharing preparedness resources and helping communities get #HurricaneStrong ahead of the 2026 season. @StateFarm @NWSLakeCharles @53rdWRS @NOAA_HurrHunter @NHC_Atlantic

Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., team members are participating in the @USCCFoundation conference alongside partners, including @BuildStrongUSA, to connect, collaborate, and advance resilience nationwide.

Learning, growing, and spreading the message that stronger homes help build stronger communities.

Future pilot reporting for duty ✈️💪

One of our favorite moments from Mobile this little guy showed up ready to fly in his pilot uniform, and we couldn’t pass up the chance for a photo with a real pilot, Captain Ryan Rivera!

Moments like this are what the Hurricane Awareness Tour is all about, connecting generations and inspiring the next generation of resilience leaders. As we celebrate 10 years of #HurricaneStrong, it’s not just about stronger homes, it’s about stronger families & stronger communities. 

📍 Next stop: Lake Charles, LA (tomorrow!) Come see us, meet the teams, and learn simple, science-backed ways to make your home stronger before hurricane season.

Proud to be on the road with our incredible partners:
@NWSNHC @NWS @NOAANSSL @USAA @strongtie @53rdWRS @ICCSafe @fema @NWSMobile @AlabamaEMA

Stop by, ask questions, and take the next step toward a stronger, safer home.
