Hurricane Protection Guidance
For those areas affected by hurricanes, storms are generally detected well before they reach hurricane status. When the track of the hurricane becomes evident, warnings are issued to the affected areas through radio, television, newspaper, and online sources. This allows plenty of time for residents and organizations to take appropriate actions. You and your organization must have a plan for mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery from hurricanes and tropical storms.

Swatting Incidents: What To Know
"Swatting" is the act of making false emergency calls, often to 911 or other emergency services, with the intention of triggering a significant response from law enforcement, particularly specialized units like SWAT (Special Weapons & Tactics) teams. The term itself is derived from the acronym SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics). SWAT Teams are often used by law enforcement agencies to handle high-risk situations. Swatting threats have been on the rise in recent years, eading to increased community concern and a robust and coordinated response by the FBI, other federal agencies and organizations, and state and local government and law enforcement.
