🚨We are anticipating a major winter weather event expected to impact much of the U.S. population this weekend, especially the Midwest and East Coast.

DHS are working with state and local authorities, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to monitor and prepare for this likely adverse weather.

Please prepare and take precautions in the event of power outages, pipe-bursts, road closures, airport delays, flight cancellations, and freezing temperatures.

Federal emergency management is positioning to effectively respond to these conditions, and is prepared to provide aid across the affected areas. Stay safe and prepare.

The National Weather Service is sharing key messages on potential impacts. Stay informed, review your local forecast, and ensure your household has at least 3 days of food, water, and essential medications. Readiness resources: https://www.ready.gov/
