Future pilot reporting for duty ✈️💪 One of our favorite moments from Mobile this little guy showed up ready to fly in his pilot uniform, and we couldn’t pass up the chance for a photo with a real pilot, Captain Ryan Rivera! Moments like this are what the Hurricane Awareness Tour is all about, connecting generations and inspiring the next generation of resilience leaders. As we celebrate 10 years of #HurricaneStrong, it’s not just about stronger homes, it’s about stronger families & stronger communities.  📍 Next stop: Lake Charles, LA (tomorrow!) Come see us, meet the teams, and learn simple, science-backed ways to make your home stronger before hurricane season. Proud to be on the road with our incredible partners: @NWSNHC @NWS @NOAANSSL @USAA @strongtie @53rdWRS @ICCSafe @fema @NWSMobile @AlabamaEMA Stop by, ask questions, and take the next step toward a stronger, safer home. #HATTour2026 #HurricaneStrong #StrongHomes #ResilientTogether

How do you prepare your family and home for a hurricane before the season begins? 🌀 As we gear up to celebrate ten years of #HurricaneStrong, we’re highlighting a question homeowners ask every year: How can I protect my house for a hurricane? For a decade, HurricaneStrong has helped connect people with practical, science-backed ways to strengthen homes, protect what matters, and prepare before storms strike. And that work continues next week on the @NOAA Hurricane Awareness Tour alongside trusted partners including @NWS @NHC_Atlantic @StateFarm @SimpsonStrongTie @USAA @53rdWRS and more. Keeping your family safe and secure during hurricane season starts at home, and it starts before a warning is issued. With simple, affordable steps, you can strengthen your home and reduce risk, because when homes are stronger, families are better protected. 👉 Join the #HurricaneStrong movement, find practical, affordable ways to protect your home at flash.org/hurricanestrong/ #HurricaneStrong #StrongHomes #HurricanePreparedness #PrepareYourHome #HomeProtection

To all my #Weather partners and friends in FL, GA, and SC confronting the #Wildfires, our new free, open-source safety and prevention campaign is live and ready for you to use at NoFuelNoFire.org. We answer the key questions, including: How do I protect my home from wildfire embers? What is defensible space around a house? What are the best (and worst) materials for fire-resistant roofing? How can I make a home wildfire ready? and much more. @DrRickKnabb @weatherchannel @wxguy95 @StuartAsherWx @MikeFirstAlert @JimWallaceWx @HaleyHendersonWx

FLASH programs like Tornado Strong and Hurricane Strong focus on: ✔ Strengthening key parts of the home ✔ Smarter building practices ✔ Empowering homeowners Let’s rethink tornado resilience. It’s not just about extreme storms, it’s about how homes are built and maintained. Insights shared at #IDAExpo2026 with NIST and industry leaders like Haas Door reinforce how research and real-world application come together to protect homes. @LCHenderson @NIST @haasdoor @tanya_bg_wx Learn how to protect your home: 🔗 flash.org #TornadoStrong #HurricaneStrong #FLASH

This week at #IDAExpo2026 🎤 FLASH CEO Leslie Chapman-Henderson @LCHenderson led critical conversations on resilience by hosting workshops, facilitating training sessions, and contributing to ongoing dialogue with industry leaders on the future of stronger homes. Alongside @tanya_bg_wx Tanya Brown-Giammanco of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), these sessions brought decades of post-disaster research and real-world insight to the forefront, reinforcing FLASH’s leadership in advancing resilient construction practices. Key takeaway:
 ➡️ Garage doors play a critical role in high winds
 ➡️ When they hold, homes avoid major roof and wall damage nearly 90% of the time even in winds up to 135 mph We’re proud to collaborate with NIST, the Door and Access Systems Manufacturers Association (DASMA), and Haas Door in advancing smarter, stronger, building solutions because resilience starts long before the storm. #HomeResilience #BuildingSafety #FLASH

Florida wildfires are rising fast, and drought conditions mean embers can ignite homes from miles away. 🔥 Protect your home: • 5 ft ember-resistant zone • Clear debris fuel • Maintain roofs vents 👉 flash.org/wildfire-strong @fpvoad @volunteerflorida @FLOIR_comm @PinellasEM #WildfireStrong #CommunityResilience #PreparedCommunities #FLASH
