Severe Weather Preparedness Week: March 14-20

March 12, 2021

These first two weeks in March have brought very welcomed warmer temperatures and several sunny days, after a mostly cold and snowy February.

With the change in seasons, our focus needs to turn to different types of severe weather threats. Although snow and ice events could happen for a few more weeks (and we'll leave the winter weather preparation links on this page for a bit), we will likely begin seeing more severe thunderstorms, flooding, and possibly tornadoes as spring arrives. March 14-20 has been designated as Severe Weather Preparedness Week. The week serves as a reminder for all of us to evaluate our family's preparedness for potential severe spring weather events. Please click below to access INPREP's 2021 Severe Weather Preparedness Week page, which contains many resources to help prepare for spring weather challenges.

Winter Weather Preparation

February 4, 2020

This winter has been fairly mild for most of Indiana. However, the next several days promise to bring possibly the coldest air of the season. A few nights below zero are expected, and some days may not make it past single digit temperatures. Not only is it uncomfortable, extreme cold can be deadly to people, livestock, and pets. Take some time to prepare for this upcoming cold snap to protect your family!

Indiana PREPared has a variety of resources to assist you in planning and preparing for severe winter weather. Click here to access PREPnotes about a variety of winter weather preparedness topics for your home and farm.
