A new app designed to provide updates on disaster supplies and educational resources in the wake of a natural disaster was released this week.

Potential Tropical Cyclone #16 is expected to strengthen today and likely become Tropical Storm Ophelia soon.

The National Weather Service (NWS) is recognizing Deaf Awareness Week by releasing weather safety information for the deaf and hard of hearing.

After a natural disaster, a variety of resources become available through emergency declarations to aid in the cleanup process. FEMA financial assistance is just one of many ways to receive help after a weather event.

The National Hurricane Center is highlighting an area off the Florida east coast for possible development later this week.

A little over two weeks after Hurricane Idalia moved through Florida’s Big Bend region, extensive clean-up efforts are ongoing.

The National Hurricane Center issued an advisory on Hurricane Lee, located several hundred miles off the coast of Bermuda and on Hurricane Margot, located over the central Atlantic.

Hurricane Lee is expected to stay off the U.S. East Coast this week, but that could change for the upcoming weekend.

In a typical Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, August through mid-September is the busiest time for tropical storms and hurricanes. This season is no different.

Following Idalia’s impacts, the Florida Division of Emergency Management wants to ensure Florida residents have all the information necessary to recover.

Hurricane Idalia officially made landfall as a Category 3 Major Hurricane with sustained winds of 125 MPH near Keaton Beach at 7:45 EDT.

Ahead of Hurricane Idalia making landfall, evacuations (mandatory and voluntary) have been issued for several coastal counties in Florida.
