Yesterday, the NC Disaster Comms Team (ESF-2) met at the State EOC to talk about technology and underwent scenario based discussion to plan for their actions during a disaster. Restoring & maintaining communications for responders and the public is their focus. #ReadyNC

🌧️ ☀️ Rain or shine, our pets are a member of our family. Make sure you plan for how to evacuate with all of your loved ones and pets. Plan to stay with friends and family, or look for pet friendly hotel or shelter options. #NationalPetPreparednessMonth #ReadyNC

Your furry friends need an emergency kit, too! Include: 3–7 days of food and water, medicine and medical records, leash/carrier, and a favorite toy. For more tips, visit readync.gov/plan-and-prepare… #PetPreparednessMonth #ReadyNC

Going on vacation? Here's a simple trick to check if your freezer lost power while you were gone: Freeze a glass of water with a quarter on top. If the quarter is at the bottom when you return, your food may not be safe to eat. #ReadyNC

⛈️The foothills and WNC could see storms tonight with heavy downpours that could cause flash flooding. 👍Tonight- enable emergency alerts on cell phone, monitor your wx radio, sign up for local EM alerts, and have a plan to move to higher ground if necessary. #ReadyNC

It’s 6-7 so it’s only fair: Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 (ate) all the snacks in the hurricane kit before the storm even hit! If you ate your emergency rations early, remember to restock before the power goes out. #HurricaneSeason #67 #ReadyNC

Your pet should be restrained when you get behind the wheel because an unsecured pet can be a danger to themselves and others. For more pet preparedness tips visit readync.gov/plan-and-prepare… #ReadyNC

North Carolina has hurricanes on the mind right now. A winning game plan starts before the pressure is on. Build a strong hurricane starting lineup and stay informed at ReadyNC.gov.
Image of a poster from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety titled "Your Hurricane Starting Lineup." It shows two people facing off on an ice hockey rink. The list includes items: water, flashlight, extra batteries, weather radio, phone charger, important documents, and non-perishable food.

Our pets feel the pressure changes before we do. If your pet gets anxiety, have their crate or comfort space ready before the storm. Grab a few toys and treats to help them stay calm through the storm. For more info, visit readync.gov/plan-and-prepare… #PetPreparednessMonth #ReadyNC
