After a sultry summer, thank goodness meteorological fall is here with its more comfortable temperatures to come and fall colors! 

Stay up to date and be prepared by using National Weather Service (NWS) safety tips and infographics. And help spread the word by sharing this information with your family, friends, and social networks!

This fall, there are a few new featured graphics, including wildfire dangers, winter storm prep and generator safety.

Wildfires are not just a summertime phenomenon - they can occur during the fall, too! When weather conditions are favorable for wildfire development, local NWS forecast offices will issue a Red Flag Warning. Learn more about what it means and what to do.

Storms in the fall, or any time of year, can create weather hazards that can knock your power out for an extended period of time. Having a generator to restore power is important, but practicing generator safety could save your life. We have some tips to remind you to double check your generator before you lose power.

So, have a fun autumn and remember to get prepared for and stay safe from hazardous weather! We even have safety information available in six different languages.
