Wildfire Preparedness Encouraged As Conditions Remain Warm And Dry Across Texas

Freeze-cured grasses, unseasonably warm temperatures and dry conditions will support increased potential for wildfire activity into early spring 2026. Texas A&M Forest Service urges all Texans to prepare for wildfires and other disasters by assembling an emergency go kit.

“Being prepared ahead of time for a disaster such as wildfires, hurricanes, winter storms or tornadoes is crucial,” said Laura Stevens, Texas A&M Forest Service fire information and education program coordinator. “Successfully preparing for a disaster requires everyone to take personal responsibility for protecting themselves, their families and their properties. Preparation can save valuable time and help keep your family safe during an emergency.”
