This week, the Cy-Fair Fire Department shared tips with the community in observance of Severe Weather Awareness Week, a campaign that aims to educate the general public about how to stay informed about severe weather events, how to react and prepare, and more. Check out these helpful resources to keep you in the loop and potentially save lives and property.

 
Houston TranStar App
From traffic information to flood warnings and towing services to road closures, Houston TranStar is a great resource to help out on your commutes. Download the Houston TranStar App and check it during heavy rains to see which roadways you should avoid. Visit houstontranstar.org to download the app and learn more.
 
 
Watches vs. Warnings
During severe weather events, notices we often hear are a "watch", such as "tornado watch", or "warning" like "thunderstorm warning". Know the difference between these two important notices that be prepared accordingly.
 
 
National Weather Service Alerting System
The National Weather Services offers a comprehensive alerting system that you can download on your phone and potentially save your life in severe weather. You can find this and other great information about emergency alerts on the Ready.gov website.
