(February 3, 2026 | 12:15 p.m. CT): In response to Winter Storm Fern, state and local partners worked together to help communities most impacted by prolonged power outages. Through a generous donation from Elon Musk and xAI, the state received and completely distributed 500 generators to the most impacted communities in Tennessee to support residents with urgent needs. Distribution is being coordinated locally.

(Jan. 23, 2026 | 9 a.m. CT): Preparedness isn’t one-size-fits-all. What you need to be ready may look different than your neighbor’s, and that’s okay. When making your plan for the expected winter storm, think about your household’s needs: Kids, elderly, pets, medical or mobility needs, and power-dependent equipment. The best plan is the one that works for you. #ReadyTN
