Better safe than sorry! After the last rumble of thunder, wait at least 30 minutes before heading back outside. Lightning can strike from miles away, even when the sky looks clear. #ReadyNC #LightningSafety

When thunder roars, go indoors! Lightning can strike from miles away, even if it isn't raining yet. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck. Don't wait, find a sturdy building or a hard-topped vehicle immediately. #ReadyNC #LightningSafety

Happy Father's Day! To celebrate, we’ve got a dad joke for you! Why did the dad put a clock in his emergency kit? Because he wanted to make sure he had plenty of "time" to get ready for the storm. For tips on what to include in your kit, visit ReadyNC.gov. #ReadyNC

👍 Partnerships matter as our emergency management model is centered on the whole-of-community concept. Last week, Director Ray and SWIC Greg Hauser met with the UNC System to discuss partnerships, emergency management on campuses, and how our partnership can be strengthened.
