Welcome to the new Eastern North Carolina Red Cross blog. Come back often, as we hope to have a steady flow of information and advice. Hurricane season is under way, and that's not the hockey-playing kind of hurricanes. Eastern North Carolina has been fortunate in recent years to have avoided major, direct hits from hurricanes, but eastern North Carolina is always vulnerable. Chapters in eastern North Carolina prepare for hurricanes by training volunteers, arranging for the use of buildings, such as school gymnasiums, for sheltering evacuees, and signing contracts with food vendors to feed evacuees.
The American Red Cross helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies, and that is especially true in eastern North Carolina during hurricane season.
