LAS VEGAS – As part of National Preparedness Month, the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) in Las Vegas is urging residents to prepare for winter storms, even as temperatures soar into the triple digits. The unusual timing is part of an ongoing effort to highlight safety tips for various weather events during #DeafAwarenessWeek.

NWS emphasizes the importance of being ready for all weather conditions, regardless of the current heat. Preparing for winter storms, including having emergency supplies and staying informed, can ensure safety when cold weather eventually arrives.

Even in the desert heat, the reminder serves as a crucial step in staying safe when temperatures eventually drop, the NWS warned.
