During disasters, faith-based & voluntary organizations are reliable, essential partners working with us to support different aspects of the disaster response led by state and local officials.

Some recent examples ⤵️

[FEMA @fema]

With freezing temperatures continuing in large portions of the country, many are looking for relief from the cold. Local and state emergency management are partnering with voluntary agencies to operate warming centers—check for locations near you. https://t.co/CJjmBHe4Hv

(February 3, 2026 | 12 p.m. CT): Many of you have begun cleanup following Winter Storm Fern. Please follow debris-separation guidelines so materials can be picked up efficiently.

Keep debris separated by type and place it curbside, away from mailboxes, utility poles, storm drains, and fire hydrants.

Here's some helpful information for those who have damage to their home's meter equipment.

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

A new weather system is moving across the state today, bringing the possibility of rain and light accumulations of snow into the evening. Please stay alert, check roadways at https://t.co/HgoVKGN416 before traveling, and go slow.

[Tennessee Emergency Management Authority (TEMA) @TennesseeEMA]

(February 2, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. CT): The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency encourages Tennesseans whose homes were impacted by Winter Storm Fern to report damages using our Damage Assessment Survey: https://t.co/R7OgKmKi8G

Examples of reportable damage include burst pipes, water damage, and trees that have fallen on your home.

[Nashville Electric Service @NESpower]

After a major storm like this, it’s important to know where our role ends and yours begins. NES maintains and repairs the lines leading to your house, but homeowners are responsible for the equipment on the house.

If your weatherhead, power mast or meter base are damaged, our crews cannot safely reconnect your power. You will need to contact an electrician licensed and registered by your county.

Get your equipment repairs scheduled as soon as possible so you can have power as soon as NES electrical service is restored.

[NC Emergency Management @NCEmergency]

Black ice is a transparent coating on the pavement. Because it’s clear, you see the black road underneath, making it almost impossible to spot until you’re already sliding. If you hit a patch, take your foot off the gas, avoid slamming the brakes, and steer with the skid.

[NWS Weather Prediction Center @NWSWPC]

Extreme Cold/Freeze Warnings remain in effect early this morning across much of Florida into southern Georgia/Alabama, portions of the Carolinas and southeastern Louisiana before a gradual moderating trend sets in https://t.co/A3RX3bwD5b

[FEMA @fema]

State & local officials continue to work quickly to get power restored after recent winter storms. Emergency shelters are open to keep you warm—follow local officials for locations, download the FEMA app or text "SHELTER" and your zip code to 43362 to search nearby locations.📲

[FEMA @fema]

At this time, we are providing swift funding and federal teams directly to the state of Mississippi to support their storm response. While you can’t apply for FEMA assistance for costs like generators, you can find up-to-date sources of help from @MSEMA & local officials⬇️

[Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management @ReadyHarris]

REMINDER - All Harris County warming centers and shelters run by @RedCrossTXGC are closed as of 11 a.m. on February 1, 2026.

[FEMA @fema]

Under the Emergency Declarations signed by @POTUS, we are providing direct support to state governments. If you need help, check state and local sources: https://t.co/eMvLjlNsVf

We continue working with states as they assess damage to determine if more federal help is needed.

[SC Emergency Management Division @SCEMD]

Roads are tricky to navigate when there is snow. If it’s not essential, don’t get on the road. Stay home. Remember, bridges, overpasses, and roads less traveled freeze first. Avoid driving if possible.
If you must drive, reduce your speed and avoid sudden braking.

[SC Emergency Management Division @SCEMD]

Heading to a shelter?
You can find live updates on shelter locations here:

Traveling to a shelter: Take it slow, avoid sudden braking or turns, and watch out for patches of black ice. Look out for first responders and move over for emergency lights.

[Governor Jeff Landry @LAGovJeffLandry]

Coastal storm which has already produced 4-8"+ of snow from the southern Appalachians into western NC, as well as locally 3-6" along the Crystal Coast of NC, will intensify tonight. Widespread heavy snow will continue into the morning, with near blizzard conditions at the coast.

[SC Emergency Management Division @SCEMD]

We know how fun a snow day is, but it's never fun to be cold!
Before you head outside to start that snowball fight, make sure to:
-Wear a hat, scarf and gloves to cover exposed skin.
-Layer thin, warm layers underneath thick, bulky layers, like a coat.
-Wear waterproof shoes
