Boating season may be winding down, but there’s still time to enjoy Lake St. Clair this fall! 🍂

Fall can bring changing weather conditions and cooler temperatures on the water. Before heading out, check the latest forecast, keep a NOAA Weather Radio or another reliable way to receive weather information on board, and make sure your emergency kit is stocked and ready.

A little preparation can help you stay ready for changing conditions while enjoying the water this fall.

📲 When an emergency alert appears on your phone, take a moment to read the entire message.

Emergency alerts provide important information about what is happening, where the emergency is occurring, and what actions you may need to take.

Don’t dismiss the alert until you know what it says and whether it affects you.

Severe weather doesn’t end when summer does.

Strong winds, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, and flooding can still occur during the fall months. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, such as a NOAA Weather Radio, and know where you would go if severe weather threatens.

Stay weather aware and be prepared for changing conditions this fall.

Taking a few minutes to strengthen your online security can help protect you from cyber threats.
