NC Prepares for Significant Weather. Here are Tips to Help Keep You Safe.

STAY OUT OF FLOODWATER, AND DON’T DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS.

As of this posting, the National Hurricane Center places Debby’s newest path as going straight through North Carolina. Governer Roy Cooper declared a State of Emergency ahead of the expected impact. The system will bring significant rain to the state with the potential of massive flooding in many areas. Floodwater can not only be dangerous but can also put you at risk of injuries or diseases.

Don’t drive in flooded areas.

• Always follow warnings about flooded roads.
• Don’t drive in flooded areas—cars or other vehicles won’t protect you from floodwaters. They can be swept away or may stall in moving water.
