Storm, Wildfire, and Congressional Updates Good morning, I’m Cedric and this is your EM Morning Brief for Tuesday, September 30th, 2025. Hazardous surf and rip currents impact the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic due to Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda, with limited U.S. coastal impacts mainly to surf and minor coastal flooding. Wildfire activity continues in the Pacific Northwest and California, with updates on evacuations and containment efforts. The USGS reports no damaging earthquakes in the past day. Congress has yet to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program, potentially affecting home closings in flood zones. State-specific updates include air quality advisories in Texas, high surf and rip current warnings in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and wildfire containment statuses in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, and Hawaii.
