No other atmospheric disturbance combines duration, size and violence more destructively than a hurricane. WHEREAS, North Carolina is second only to Florida in vulnerability to hurricanes. However, our emergency preparedness programs are among the finest in the nation. But we cannot afford to rely on prior accomplishments. We must constantly remind our citizens and visitors of hurricane evacuation routes, locations of emergency shelters and other protective measures. 6
