Severe weather and high winds are expected to impact large portions of the Central U.S. today / tonight and tomorrow, increasing the risk of dangerous conditions, including brush fires. The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services team is actively monitoring the situation and remains ready to support communities as needed.
While proactive measures are in place, we know how quickly conditions can change. That’s why preparedness is key—not just for emergency responders but for everyone.
If you’re feeling uncertain about how to prepare for disasters in your community, we encourage you to take our “Are You Ready?” course in our training portal. This course walks you through assessing local risks and creating a personal or family emergency plan. Whether you’re looking to volunteer or simply want to be better prepared, this is a great first step.

Disaster response isn’t just about large-scale efforts—it’s about showing up in moments of need, big or small. Stay informed, stay prepared, and if you or someone you know needs assistance, The Salvation Army is here to help.
