Natural Disasters: Preparing for, dealing with and recovering from Mother Nature’s catastrophes

December 31, 2024

No place in the world is disaster proof. Mother Nature unleashes her horrors globally and year-round via hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires, floods, blizzards and more.

These special Natural Disasters Resource Pages are the comprehensive collection of Don’t Mess With Taxes blog posts about disasters and the associated tax implications.

Storm-Warning-Severe-Weather-Warning

As long-time blog readers know, I am a weather nut. I made that clear early in my blogging career. My second ever post back on Nov. 15, 2005, the one after unleashing introducing Don’t Mess With Taxes, was Stormy tax policy about, yes, hurricanes.

My fascination with weather woes comes naturally. The hubby and I, along with close members of my family have been through major hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods and way too close to wildfire.

So obviously, I’ll still publish separate storm-related blog posts when warranted. But rather than reinvent the wheel in those items, I’ll refer readers to this page.

I hope that isn’t necessary often. But for too much of the time, Mother Nature can be a real Mommy Dearest!

Finally, a quick note on the following info. When I created this collection five years ago, I didn’t realize that I had essentially become a weather/disaster blogger in addition to one who chronicles taxes. So originally, it was one special page.

But as storms continued to wreak havoc and require posts about associated tax relief, it got to be really, really, loooooong! More than 3,000 words long (and growing).

So I’ve broken it into separate pages of posts with information on storms and disasters:

In each section, the relevant posts are added in rolling chronological order, meaning the oldest ones are at the top and the newest blog post on a topic in that area is at the end of the bullet list. Many of the older posts still offer good info, but I’d suggest you scroll through all, especially if you’re looking for the most up-to-date news, tax or otherwise.

Feel free to click over to the disaster area of particular interest to you now by hitting the page links above. Or peruse each section at your leisure.

Most importantly, though, stay safe!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
