The National Weather Service (NWS) in Newport/Morehead City, NC will be conducting two community forums in Dare County next month to discuss hurricanes and preparedness. The forums are free and open to everyone; no age requirements. All are welcome!
The first forum will take place in Kill Devil Hills on Monday, July 8 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at First Flight High School, located at 100 Veterans Drive.
A second forum will be held in Buxton on Tuesday, July 9 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at Cape Hatteras Secondary School, located at 48576 Highway 12.
The goal of these forums is to discuss preparedness while giving attendees an opportunity to ask questions. Topics will include why it’s important to never just focus on the category of the storm but instead focus on the impacts and why it’s critical to prepare each and every year since it only takes one storm to make an impact on our lives.
