The weather has been unpredictable this winter. Seasonal cold temperatures gave rise to house fires caused by electrical heaters while excessive rain causes flooding in surrounding areas.

The local chapter responds to an average of 50 natural disasters each year including ice storms, tornadoes, home fires and floods.
