North Carolina Resources for Hurricane Irma

Date: September 08, 2017

Gov. Roy Cooper has declared a state of emergency for all 100 counties as North Carolina prepares for almost certain impacts from Hurricane Irma early next week.
 
The state of emergency went into effect at 8 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 7, in order to facilitate the movement of any resources that may be needed to respond to the storm. It also waives truck weight, size and hours of service restrictions so that vehicles carrying essential supplies such as food, medicine, fuel or transporting livestock or crops can get their jobs done quickly.
 
State officials will post the latest storm-related information on the North Carolina Department of Public Safety’s website, ReadyNC.org.
