In preparation for potentially dangerous severe weather forecasted across the state, I have signed an Executive Order to activate the Missouri State Emergency Operations Plan, which enables state agencies to coordinate directly with local jurisdictions to expedite assistance.

I urge all Missourians to pay attention to their local weather forecasts, follow official warnings, and have multiple ways to receive alerts – especially overnight.

Last year’s success of the Blue Shield program demonstrated what’s possible when communities commit to prioritizing law enforcement and public safety.

We are building on that commitment by expanding the program and giving more towns, cities, and counties the opportunity to earn a Blue Shield designation. This program is about accountability, partnership, and building on the foundation of a safer Missouri.

As Missourians shovel snow and huddle indoors against the February cold, earthquakes are among the last things they’re thinking about. But that’s the point of Missouri Earthquake Awareness Month, which is observed across the state each February.

“A major earthquake for Missouri is what’s known as a “high-impact, low-frequency” event, which is why most people don’t think about them at all,” said State Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Remillard. “But these types of natural disasters – unpredictable, but with the potential for catastrophic consequences when they do occur – require training, planning, exercises and building resilience in the emergency management, business and transportation sectors. We urge residents to consider their preparedness as well.”

 Know “Drop, Cover and Hold On” if an earthquake occurs. Get under a table or desk, drop to your knees, cover your head and hold on until the shaking stops. Falling debris is the most common cause of injury in nations with modern building codes.
 Put together an emergency kit to last at least several days, including a flashlight, first aid supplies, portable radio, drinking water, canned and dry food and blankets. These kits are essential for all types of disasters, when services could be disrupted for days.
 In active earthquake zones, it’s also important to prepare by taking simple safety steps before an earthquake occurs:
 Bolt bookcases to wall studs, install strong latches on cupboards and secure your home's water heater. If it tips over, it could start a fire or gas leak.
 Secure overhead lighting fixtures and move heavy objects from high shelves to lower ones. Injuries can be caused by this type of falling debris.
 Develop a family communication plan. Identify a relative living at least 100 miles away that everyone can call to check in and tell family you're safe.
 Know how to turn off your gas and water.
 Find out if your house is covered for earthquake damage.

Most homeowner insurance does not include earthquake coverage – it must be purchased separately. According to the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance, in the seven counties most at risk along the NMSZ fault line, the number of homes with earthquake insurance dropped from 60% in 2000 to 10% in 2024.
