North Carolinians should take all necessary precautions and monitor emergency alerts diligently and frequently. Governor Cooper has declared a State of Emergency and called on residents to take steps now to prepare for the impact of the storm. Although it is unclear how severely the hurricane will impact the 4th district, residents should be prepared for strong tropical storm-level winds and heavy rainfall that could result in flooding, road closures, and widespread power outages. I encourage all 4thdistrict residents to stay tuned to local forecasts and follow instructions from local emergency officials. It is important that you develop an emergency plan for yourself and your family members, including your pets. Unfortunately, North Carolinians have become too familiar with storms of this magnitude, but we know that taking proper measures to prepare for the storm can mitigate its long-term effects. Please stay safe and stay prepared.
