Make a Plan Elizabeth City/Outer Banks

Elizabeth City/Outer Banks start with an emergency plan today, a communication plan.   You and your family may not be together if a disaster strikes your area.  You will need to know how you will contact one another and to reconnect if you are separated.  Establish a family meeting place that is easy to find and familiar.  Ready.gov  advises ways to put your emergency plan in action today. 

Elizabeth City has a Code Red alert system in place to reach you during an emergency situation. Read more.  

The ReadyNC mobile app alerts people living in or visiting North Carolina.

First, schedule a time to meet with your family, friends, or household members to discuss these questions.

1. Am I set up to receive emergency alerts and warnings.
2. What is my shelter plan? Taking appropriate shelter is critical in times of disaster.
3. What is my evacuation route? Plan how you will leave and where you will go if you are advised to evacuate.
4. How will our family/household communicate? Download the Family Emergency Plan
