Be Ready, Tennessee. Take the time now to prepare before the storm arrives:
- Turn on weather alerts on your phone and monitor trusted local forecasts.
- Identify your safe place now — a sturdy building, ideally a small interior room on the lowest floor and away from windows.
- Bring in or tie down outdoor items like patio furniture, trash cans, trampolines, umbrellas, grills, and decorations so they do not become flying debris.
- Gather essentials in one place — flashlight, medications, shoes, water, pet supplies, and important documents.
- Charge phones and backup batteries in case power goes out.
- Know the difference between a watch and a warning. A watch means conditions are possible; a warning means take action now.

A few simple steps can help keep you and your family safe when severe weather hits.

Tennessee has continued to show up for Tennesseans.

Across the state, warming centers have opened their doors, safe drinking water has been delivered to communities in need, generators continue to keep critical facilities running, and wellness checks ensure our most vulnerable neighbors are safe.

This response continues to be about more than logistics—it is about people.

Thank you to every state, local, volunteer, and partner agency working around the clock to keep Tennessee safe.
