MDEM Reminds Marylanders to “Know Before You Go” and “If You See Something, Say Something” as Holiday Travel Ramps Up Across Maryland

HANOVER, MD (November 17, 2025) — As Marylanders prepare to visit loved ones, celebrate traditions, and travel across the state and beyond, the Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) is recognizing Maryland Travel Safety Week (November 18–24, 2025) by reminding travelers they can take simple actions that can make every trip safer for themselves and others—whether driving, flying, or using other modes of transportation.

“The holidays are about connection—seeing family, sharing gratitude, and caring for one another,” said MDEM Secretary Russ Strickland. “That spirit of care should also guide how we travel. When we plan ahead and stay mindful, we help everyone get where they’re going safely. We wish all Marylanders a joyous and peaceful holiday season.”

Know Before You Go — Before you head out the door, stay informed and prepared so you know the travel conditions while en route to your destination. Check on road and traffic conditions along your route; check for last-minute delays or cancellations before heading to the airport or train station; and always check local weather forecasts to make sure you pack appropriate clothing and prepare for potential travel delays.

If You See Something, Say Something — If you see a suspicious activity, device, or package, or overhear a suspicious conversation, report it immediately to a facility manager, carrier employee, or law enforcement. If you see accidents or hazards along the roadway or hiking/biking trails, make sure to alert local law enforcement, highway officials, or park employees so they can respond.

About Maryland Travel Safety Week

Maryland Holiday Travel Safety Week is an annual public awareness effort led by MDEM and supported by the Maryland State Police, Maryland Department of Transportation, and local emergency management partners. The campaign encourages residents and visitors alike to prepare before traveling, remain alert, and prioritize safety so that every Marylander can celebrate the holidays safely.

Maryland Residents Encouraged to Participate in Great ShakeOut

Drop, Cover, and Hold On During Preparedness Drill Thursday at 10:16 a.m. 

HANOVER, MD (October 14, 2023) — The Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) is proud to promote Earthquake Preparedness and encourages Marylanders to take part in The Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills occurring across the Country on October 16 at 10:16 a.m. local time.  Over 98,000 people representing approximately 50 organizations, including individuals and families from Maryland were registered as of Friday afternoon. Others are encouraged to register here before the exercise begins.

“While earthquakes are not common in Maryland, events like the one in Mineral, Virginia on August 23, 2011, can be felt throughout Maryland. The Great Shake Out is an opportunity for Marylanders to practice what to do and what NOT to do during a disaster. It’s an important reminder that preparedness is something we can all take part in, no matter where we live,” said MDEM Secretary Russ Strickland. 

One of the most frightening and destructive phenomena of nature is a severe earthquake and its terrible aftereffects.  Earthquakes can happen at any time of the year and at any time during the day. It is impossible to predict when or where an earthquake will occur, so it is important that you and your family are prepared ahead of time.

A key aspect of the Great ShakeOut is integrating comprehensive science-based earthquake research and the lessons learned from decades of social science research about why people get prepared.  The result is a “teachable moment” on par with having an actual earthquake (often followed by increased interest in getting ready for earthquakes).  ShakeOut creates the sense of urgency that is needed for people, organizations, and communities to get prepared, to practice what to do to be safe, and to learn what plans need to be improved.

On October 16 at 10:16 a.m. local time you should drop, cover, and hold on for earthquake preparedness;

• DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
• Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and 
• HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.

More information about earthquake preparedness can be found at The Great ShakeOut, Ready.gov, or Listo.gov. 

MDEM invites individuals or organizations participating in Thursday morning’s drill  to email pictures to [email protected]. Selected images may be shared on MDEM’s social media platforms.

Governor Moore Appeals Western Maryland Disaster Declaration Denial

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today announced the appeal of President Trump’s denial for a Major Disaster Declaration for flooding that occurred in Western Maryland this past May. Maryland’s initial request was denied on July 22 in a letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which stated assistance to Maryland was deemed unwarranted. Since the President’s initial denial, FEMA has validated an additional $17.9 million in damages, raising the total estimated damages to $33.7 million. This is nearly three times the State’s Federal threshold for assistance.

“Maryland has met long-standing criteria for FEMA support in the wake of historic floods across Mountain Maryland. And this appeal isn’t simply justified, it’s necessary,” said Gov. Moore. “I have stood shoulder to shoulder with Marylanders in Allegany and Garrett Counties, who are still recovering from an unthinkable catastrophe. They are calling on us to support them in this hour of need, and that’s exactly what we will continue to do.”

In the days following the flooding, Allegany and Garrett counties conducted joint preliminary damage assessments in coordination with the Maryland Department of Emergency Management and FEMA. Maryland requested that the president issue a Major Disaster Declaration and public assistance funding after meeting the FEMA-established assistance thresholds. The intensive process validated damages to critical and public infrastructure eligible for public assistance funding.

Historically, if the joint damage assessment process demonstrates eligible costs over and above the county and state indicator, disaster assistance has been awarded by the president. Allegany County’s threshold for FEMA Public Assistance is $321,460 and Maryland’s is $11,674,953.

“We have continued to work closely with Allegany and Garrett counties to capture the damages,” said Maryland Department of Emergency Management Secretary Russell Strickland. “We will continue to pursue all possible assistance for the impacted communities to support their recovery.”

In June, Governor Moore announced the first-ever use of the State Disaster Recovery Fund, providing $459,375 in recovery support for individuals impacted by the flooding. In July, Governor Moore announced an additional $1 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds for families in Garrett and Allegany counties.

FEMA Public Assistance is only available through a Major Disaster Declaration issued by the President. The program would provide funding for Garrett and Allegany counties for repair of critical and public infrastructure like roads, bridges, public water systems and sewage systems. The state also requested access to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which provides funding to reduce risk of future impacts of similar events.

“I respectfully request that FEMA reconsiders their decision and provides the necessary aid that the residents of Westernport and neighboring towns need to fully recover from the devastating floods of May 2025,” said Westernport Mayor Judy Hamilton.

“Maryland’s appeal of FEMA’s recent denial concerning the George’s Creek Flood marks an important milestone for Allegany County,” said Senator Mike McKay. “Working hand-in-glove with Governor Moore’s emergency management team, the process has been seamless and focused on delivering results for our community.”

“Our county government does not have the financial capacity to absorb the full cost of disaster recovery,” said Allegany County Commission President David J. Caporale. “Without federal aid, essential systems will remain at risk. This is not simply a matter of convenience; these are lifelines for public safety, commerce, and the daily functioning of our community.”

Governor Moore Statement on Denial of Federal Disaster Assistance for Western Maryland

Published: 7/23/2025

Marylanders Urged to Stay Cautious and Prepared for Possible Flash Flooding

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore is asking Marylanders to prepare for potential flash flooding, heavy rains, and damaging winds brought on by storm systems in the area today. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for much of the State. The risk is greatest for central Maryland with up to 3-inches of rainfall per hour possible in some regions. Urban, low-lying, and previously saturated areas are the most at risk. However, all of Maryland could see significant rainfall as well as high winds beginning this afternoon. Avoid travel, if possible, and make sure that your vehicle has an emergency kit if you must travel.

The storm system around Maryland will create several showers and thunderstorms across the state today. The storms will likely bring significant rainfall and isolated instances of damaging winds. In response, the Maryland Department of Emergency Management will be increasing the State Activation Level and staffing the Statewide Emergency Operations Center beginning at 2pm.

Storms will form in western Maryland early this afternoon, and then spread southeastward later this afternoon into this evening. Storms may linger over the Eastern Shore into the overnight hours. Flash flooding, including possibly significant flooding, will be the primary threat with storms today. A Flash Flood Warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. If you are in a flood prone area move immediately to high ground.

If your area experiences flash flooding:

• Find safe shelter right away.

• Do not walk, swim or drive through flood waters. Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

• Remember, just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.

• Stay off bridges over fast-moving water.

• Depending on the type of flooding:

• Evacuate, if told to do so.

• Move to higher ground or a higher floor.

• Stay where you are (shelter in place).

Keep an eye on the forecast and any emergency alerts, particularly those calling for an evacuation or sheltering in place. Continue to watch your local weather stations, and visit mdready.maryland.gov for more information or to sign-up for free emergency text alerts.

Governor Moore Declares State of Preparedness to Enhance Government Coordination Amid Extreme Heat Forecast

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore this morning signed a State of Preparedness declaration ahead of a potentially hazardous heat wave with dangerously high temperatures for much of Maryland. According to the National Weather Service, extreme heat is expected Monday through Thursday, with increasing humidity during that time, requiring heightened awareness and preparedness from Marylanders and those visiting our state.

“Our top priority is the health and safety of Marylanders,” said Gov Moore. “This State of Preparedness will ensure that Maryland is coordinated and poised to protect our people in anticipation of extreme heat and humidity. We ask that all Marylanders do their part to stay vigilant, stay hydrated, and stay in cool locations as much as possible. Check on vulnerable family members and friends throughout the week to make sure they’re staying safe too.”

A State of Preparedness enhances the state’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to potential hazards and threats in advance of an actual disaster. The order directs the Department of Emergency Management to coordinate the comprehensive preparation of state government ahead of potential impacts from hazards or threats, providing a vital layer of protection for Marylanders without necessitating a State of Emergency.

According to the National Weather Service, Marylanders can expect the following conditions from Monday through Thursday:

• Daytime temperatures in the mid-90s are expected for much of the state with highs possibly reaching 100 or more; heat indices are forecasted for 105-110 and a potential peak of 115.

• Overnight temperatures are expected to remain above 80 degrees across most of Maryland.

• Prolonged heat and humidity will increase the potential for heat-related illnesses, particularly for those working outdoors or participating in outdoor activities.

Preparedness Recommendations:

• Never leave infants, children or pets inside a parked vehicle.

• Increase fluid intake, regardless of activity level. Don’t wait until thirsty to drink fluids; drink more liquid than thirst indicates.

• Avoid “heat hangover;” continue to drink fluids even after strenuous activity, enabling the body to maintain optimum hydration and helping prevent the after effects of heat exposure such as headaches and fatigue.

• Avoid beverages containing alcohol, caffeine, or large amounts of sugar as they dehydrate the body.

• Avoid very cold beverages as they may cause stomach cramps.

• Limit exercise or outdoor activity between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is at its peak intensity. If active during this time frame, drink a minimum of 16 to 32 ounces of water each hour.

• Some medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, may increase the risk of heat related illness. Consult your physician if you have questions.

• Wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15. Apply at least 30 minutes before going outdoors, and re-apply as necessary.

• Rest frequently in shady areas so that the body’s temperature has a chance to recover.

• If unaccustomed to working or exercising in a hot environment, gradually increase the pace and limit exercise or work time.

• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing; sunglasses to protect the eyes; and a wide-brimmed hat to provide shade and keep the head cool.

• Know where your local cooling centers are located.

• Be aware of new Maryland regulations for working in hot conditions.

“Many Marylanders are at risk for heat-related illness during extreme heat like we are experiencing this week,” said Maryland Department of Health Secretary Dr. Meena Seshamani. “Remember to check on those who are particularly vulnerable to this weather — including young children, senior citizens, and people with chronic diseases. Be sure that they have the resources they need to stay comfortable and safe, or help them locate one of the dozens of local cooling centers available.”

For more information about heat preparedness, please visit the Maryland Department of Emergency Management website.

Information about cooling centers across Maryland is available from the Maryland Department of Health.

Governor Moore Requests Presidential Disaster Declaration to Assist Communities Damaged by Flooding in Western Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today requested that the White House issue a Major Disaster Declaration to assist Allegany and Garrett county communities impacted by extensive flooding in mid-May. The declaration will make federal assistance programs available to restore critical public infrastructure to Maryland communities impacted by the storm.

“Our communities in Western Maryland have experienced significant impacts to their homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure,” said Gov. Moore. “After a thorough assessment of the damage, it’s clear that additional support is necessary. We must continue to deploy essential resources to ensure a full and robust recovery. This declaration marks an important continuation of that ongoing push.”

Joint damage assessments conducted by FEMA, the Maryland Department of Emergency Management and local officials estimated more than $15.8 million in emergency response costs and damage to infrastructure, including more than 200 homes, numerous businesses, roads and bridges, railroads, sewer systems, drinking water, and public utilities. While the State of Maryland continues to mobilize resources to support the region, the work required to fully recover from the damage will require capacity beyond that of state and local jurisdictions alone.

“With a natural disaster where residents, businesses, and public infrastructure are impacted on this scale, recovery is an all-hands-on-deck approach,” said Maryland Department of Emergency Management Secretary Russ Strickland. “We are already working tirelessly at the local and state level, but the flooding caused incredible destruction. The addition of much-needed federal assistance is necessary to get those affected back to their regular lives and to allow those communities to fully recover in months instead of years.”

Through the Presidential Disaster Declaration, the State of Maryland may request FEMA Public Assistance for Garrett and Allegany counties to provide additional assistance for recovery to the impacted areas. The state can also request access to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which can be made available under the federal Stafford Act. If approved, support from the programs would help repair crucial infrastructure and publicly-owned facilities in the impacted counties, as well as fund risk reduction projects to ensure that additional devastating impacts are minimized in the future.

To provide additional support, Governor Moore this week announced the approval of $459,375 from the first-ever State Disaster Recovery Fund to support Allegany County’s flood recovery efforts.
