It's always disaster season...
As we try to move out of hurricane season (which ends officially November 30), it's critical to remember there are many other hazards that could impact during the winter months. Severe winter weather, such as ice and snow storms; floods, which can occur year-round; and especially fires, due to the drier weather. Talk to your local emergency management agency to find out what winter hazards are in your area and how to protect yourself!
