If you’re already a Facebook user (and even if you’re not) Facebook pages are an easy way to get weather news. Simply by “liking” the pages of weather-related organizations, weather updates will be added to your newsfeed. Here are a few of our favorites:
The National Weather Service
The U.S. National Weather Service collects and distributes weather data across the United States. When you like their Facebook page, you’ll get forecasts and weather warnings as well as links to other weather-related organizations.
FEMA
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is responsible for coordinating responses to disasters that overwhelm local and state authorities. FEMA’s Facebook page has helpful tips for disaster preparation, including flooding, as well as weather information and updates. They’re also one of the few Facebook pages that can list their founding date as 1803. Impressive!
The Weather Channel
The Weather Channel also has a Facebook page. Lighter in tone, it features fun weather-related stories and user submitted photos from across the U.S. Become one of 1,000,000 Facebook users who “like” the page.
Keeping up to date on weather and flooding is only part of flood preparation. If you live in an area prone to flooding, installing FEMA compliant flood vents can help save your home from serious structural damage.
