In times of uncertainty, being prepared can make all the difference.
This serves as your guide in navigating the challenges of natural disasters.
From hurricanes to ice storms, we walk through major natural disasters, equipping you with information and practical guidance to safeguard yourself, your loved ones, and your community.
Preparation for Natural Disasters:
THUNDERSTORMS
Thunderstorms are common, dangerous, and bring intense wind, flash flooding, hail, and lightning.
FLOODS
It is important to be well-prepared for floods. Stay informed about your local flood risk and follow the guidance of emergency authorities.
DROUGHTS & HEAT WAVES
Heatwaves and droughts are often underestimated in terms of their seriousness.
HURRICANES
Hurricanes can bring extremely high winds, heavy rainfall which can result in flooding, downed trees, lightning, and power outages.
ICE STORMS, FREEZING RAIN & WINTER STORMS
We are fortunate in North Carolina to not get too many ice storms, but we can usually expect 1 or 2 each year.
