Winter Weather Preparedness Week, Nov. 29-Dec. 5

Explorers,

Governor Pat McCrory has proclaimed Nov. 29 – Dec. 5 as Winter Weather Preparedness Week to encourage schools, families and residents to prepare now for unpredictable winter weather. Faculty, staff and students should be aware of the risks associated with winter weather like sleet, ice or snow. North Carolina Emergency Management encourages everyone to follow four simple steps to prepare for winter weather: make a plan, practice the plan, have an emergency supplies kit and stay informed. Please take the time to promote Winter Weather Preparedness Week in your schools. Teaching kids how to be prepared for disasters can help get the entire family ready.
