Hurricane Florence is bringing heavy wind and rain to large parts of the East Coast. Stay informed on the latest warnings, advisories, and the path of Florence with bulletins from the National Weather Service. If you’re in an area that could be impacted by this storm, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends the following:

Monitor local radio and TV for updates. The path of the storm could change quickly and unexpectedly. Follow the instructions of state, local, and tribal leaders.

Hunker down and take shelter. Everyone should be making final preparations today as Hurricane Florence moves toward the United States. Coastal residents in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia may already be seeing tropical storm or hurricane force winds and flooding.

Communicate with friends and family. Tell them where you are riding out the storm, and how you will let them know you’re safe. You can call, text, email, or use social media.
