🌊Hurricane Preparedness Week - Day 4🌊

When a storm is forecast to impact your area, take action immediately to be ready. Ideally, longer-term preparedness actions such as having disaster supplies and an evacuation plan will have already been done before hurricane season, when the stores are stocked and time is on your side. When a storm threatens, there’s a lot more to do..

💨Protect Your Home

💨Determine Sheltering Options & Consider Your Pets

💨Ready Your Go-Bag, Meds & Supplies, Charge Phone, Fill Up/Charge Vehicle

💨Help Your Neighbors - Especially the Elderly & Other Vulnerable People

💨Follow Evacuation Orders If Given

🌊Hurricane Preparedness Week - Day 3🌊

National Weather Service forecast products can tell you a lot about what is expected to happen with a storm, including the storm’s paths, rainfall amounts, wind speeds, and more. There is a lot of information available days ahead of a storm, and it is important to understand what it means.

Have Trusted Sources for Storm Information

Rely on official forecasts and well-established media partners in the Weather Enterprise. Be cautious of sensational headlines and instead look for reliable sources to determine a storm's potential impacts.

🌊Hurricane Preparedness Week - Day 2🌊

The best time to prepare is before hurricane season begins. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late. Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period.

🌊National Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 3 through May 9, 2026🌊

The National Weather Service and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety are teaming up to bring this hurricane safety campaign to all of North Carolina’s residents. With warmer weather quickly approaching, now is the time to prepare for hurricane season.

If each North Carolina resident would take a few moments this week to learn about hurricane safety and implement a hurricane safety plan, then we would all be better off when hurricanes threaten our area. Remember you should prepare EACH and EVERY YEAR, as it only takes ONE Storm!
