This #NationalPreparednessMonth2026, take steps to protect your home and community from wildfire. One of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire risk is to create defensible space between your home and surrounding vegetation. Learn more at ready.gov/wildfires.

🚨 BIG NEWS: Just ONE active New World screwworm case remains in the United States. Of the 48 confirmed domestic animal cases, 47 are now inactive. Our @USDA team continues working around the clock, maximizing sterile fly releases, disrupting the screwworm lifecycle, and protecting American livestock. This is incredible progress, but our work is not finished. We will not stop until this devastating pest is eradicated for good. 💪🇺🇸

Right on cue... the dry air starts to move in. Looking less and less likely we'll see much snow in Lincoln out of this.
