Severe Weather

Citizens should be prepared for potentially damaging weather in North Carolina that can strike at any time. Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, lightning strikes, snow and ice storms have caused power outages, property damage, environmental destruction, and interruptions in food and water supplies.

The best time to assemble a three-day emergency supply kit is well before you will ever need it. Most people already have these items around the house and it is a matter of assembling them now before an evacuation order is issued. Stocking up now on emergency supplies can add to your family's safety and comfort during and after a disaster.

Preparation includes having adequate insurance and being prepared to make a claim in the event of storm damage. This site includes a section on insurance tips.
