Dare County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service are hosting two hurricane preparedness forums on the Outer Banks.
The first will be held on Hatteras Island at the Avon Volunteer Fire Department, 40159 Harbor Road, on Tuesday at 2 p.m. The second will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Dare County Emergency Operations Center, 370 Airport Road in Manteo.
Topics will include preparedness efforts and why it’s important to never focus only on the category of a storm but instead on the storm’s potential impacts. At the end of each forum, time will be set aside for a community discussion during which attendees can ask questions and share their concerns.
For those unable to attend the free public forums in person, a virtual option will be offered on Wednesday at 10 a.m.
