Space Weather | Ready.gov
Severe space weather also produces solar energetic particles, which can damage satellites used for commercial communications, global positioning, intelligence gathering and weather forecasting.
The sun is the main source of space weather. Sudden bursts of plasma and magnetic field structures from the sun's atmosphere called coronal mass ejections together with sudden bursts of radiation, or solar flares, all cause space weather effects here on Earth.
Before Space Weather Occurs
 Space weather-related power outages can cause:
Loss of water and wastewater distribution systems.Loss of perishable foods and medications.Loss of heating/air conditioning and electrical lighting systems.Loss of computer systems, telephone systems and communications systems (including disruptions in airline flights, satellite networks and GPS services).Loss of public transportation systems.Loss of fuel distribution systems and fuel pipelines.Loss of all electrical systems that do not have back-up power.
Prepare Now

Image
 

Build an emergency kitMake a family communications plan.Learn more about preparing for power outages.Be aware that most medication that requires refrigeration can be kept in a closed refrigerator for several hours without a problem. Check with your physician or pharmacist if you are unsure about your specific medication.Keep your car’s gas tank at least half full. Gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps.Know where the manual release lever of your electric garage door opener is located and how to operate it.Keep extra batteries or external chargers to charge your phone, laptop and other small electronics in the event of a power outage. Keep a car phone charger in your car.

During a Space Weather Occurrence

Keep your electricity usage as low as possible, which can help power companies avoid imposing rolling blackouts during periods when the power grid is compromised.Follow the Emergency Alert System (EAS) instructions.Disconnect electrical appliances if instructed to do so by local officials.Do not use the telephone unless absolutely necessary. Keep phone lines open for emergency personnel during emergency situations.

After a Space Weather Occurrence
Throw out unsafe food:

Image
 

Throw away any food that has been exposed to a temperature of 40° F (4° C) or higher for two hours or more, or that has an unusual odor, color or texture.
WPC's Short Range Public Discussion
with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition, there will be an added
threat of EF2 to EF5 tornadoes and hail, two inches or greater over the
region. Further, another added threat of severe thunderstorm wind gusts of
65 knots or greater over the Kansas, western Missouri, and parts of
northern Oklahoma.

Furthermore, there will be another region with a Slight Risk of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the southeastern Alabama and western Georgia.
Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Southwest through Sunday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.

Moreover, the showers and thunderstorms will cause heavy rain to develop
over parts of the southeastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas, western Missouri,
and extreme northeastern Oklahoma/northwestern Arkansas. Therefore, the
WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over the
Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley and through Sunday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.

Overnight Saturday, a new front will develop over the Southern High Plains
and move eastward to the Lower Great Lakes, Central/Southern Appalachians
then southwestward to the Southern Plains by Monday evening. The boundary
will create an area of showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of
eastern Missouri and the Ohio Valley. Therefore, the SPC has issued an
Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Middle
Mississippi Valley and Ohio Valley from Sunday into Monday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition, there
will be an added threat of EF2 to EF5 tornadoes, hail, two inches or

FEMA: Inundaciones
Véase el capítulo titulado “Evacuación” para obtener información importante.
 

Si hay alguna posibilidad de que ocurra una inundación repentina, trasládese inmediatamente a un terreno más alto. No espere a que le den instrucciones.

 Qué hacer después de una inundación

 Evite el contacto con las aguas de la inundación. El agua puede estar contaminada con aceite, gasolina o aguas negras. El agua también podría estar eléctricamente cargada debido a líneas eléctricas subterráneas o cables eléctricos caídos.

 Evite el agua en movimiento. El agua en movimiento de sólo seis pulgadas de profundidad puede tumbarlo.

 Esté consciente de las áreas donde las aguas hayan cedido. Las carreteras pueden haberse debilitado y podrían derrumbarse bajo el peso de un automóvil.

 Manténgase alejado de cables eléctricos caídos y repórtelos a la compañía de electricidad.

 Manténgase alejado de áreas de desastre designadas, a menos que las autoridades soliciten voluntarios.

 Regrese a su casa sólo cuando las autoridades indiquen que es seguro hacerlo. Manténgase fuera de los edificios si están rodeados de agua. Use sumo cuidado al entrar a edificios. Pueden haber daños ocultos, especialmente en los cimientos.

 Considere las necesidades de salud y seguridad de su familia:
 
Lávese las manos frecuentemente con jabón y agua limpia si está en contacto con aguas de la inundación.

Tsunamis cannot be surfed. They have no face for a surfboard to dig into and are usually filled with debris.
 

 Large tsunamis may reach heights of twenty to fifty feet along the coast and even higher in a few locales.
 

 The first tsunami surge is not the highest and the largest surge may occur hours after the first wave.
 

 It is not possible to predict how many surges or how much time will elapse between waves for a particular tsunami.

How Do Hurricanes Form?

Hurricane Fran. Image made from GOES satellite data.

Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called "hurricanes."
Whatever they are called, tropical cyclones all form the same way.

Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure below.

A cumulonimbus cloud. A tropical cyclone has so many of these, they form huge, circular bands.

Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to the low pressure area. Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface. 
Storms that form north of the equator spin counterclockwise. Storms south of the equator spin clockwise. This difference is because of Earth's rotation on its axis.
As the storm system rotates faster and faster, an eye forms in the center. It is very calm and clear in the eye, with very low air pressure. Higher pressure air from above flows down into the eye.
