March 6th - 12th, 2022 is Severe Weather Preparedness Week
in North Carolina. This week the
National Weather Service and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety are
teaming up to bring this severe weather safety campaign to all of North
Carolina’s residents. With warmer
weather quickly approaching, now is the time to prepare for the severe weather
season. If each North Carolina resident
would take a few moments this week to learn about severe weather safety and
implement a safety plan, then we would all be better off when severe
thunderstorms and tornadoes inevitably strike our state and the likelihood of
injury and fatalities caused by severe weather could be minimized.
