Hurricane Prepardness for Onslow County NC

hurricane
Hurricane season
officially started June 1, but as we who live on the coast of North Carolina know, our most active season is usually from September through October.  It appears Hurricane Dean is heading for the Texas coast with winds in excess of 135 mph from the last report I heard.  This certainly reminds us that we need to be prepared.

If you have just relocated to Jacksonville, Hubert, Swansboro or any area of Onslow County, you might not be familiar with the steps you will need to take in the event a hurricane threatens our area.

The Onslow County Emergency Management Service provides "Keys To Surviving A Hurricane" that outlines a time table of what to do and when.  The information is very thorough and pertinent.  Even old timers could benefit from a review.

Good reminder for people new to your area, Cynthia. I never thought about NC being in hurricane zone before, however now that I think about it, anywhere along the coast may be hit. It reminds me of my old Brownie motto 'Be prepared'.

Hi Jo,
N. C is definitely in the hurricane zone and our coast was hard hit from 1999 to 2001.  We need to be prepared and pray we are spared.  "Be prepared", indeed.  Thanks.

Cynthia, our Nor Easters are fierce and it's time to get ready here in New York as well.  Thanks for the reminder, I have some things but not everything I need...We have places to evacuate to but they don't allow pets and that's an issue for many people I know---myself included.  Do they have provisions in your area?

Hello Carole,
Yes, we all need to get things in order for these storm that might come our way.  Pets are a problem here too, some vet's take in some and the animal shelters do too. 

I've missed you.
