Hurricane Preparedness STARTS NOW
National Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 5th – May 11th, 2024. 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!
Please join us in promoting hurricane preparedness during this year’s “Hurricane Preparedness Week”. The National Weather Service asks emergency management, public safety officials, local media and Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors to help join forces in improving the nation’s readiness, responsiveness, and overall resilience against hurricanes during the upcoming season.
