How to be prepared for an emergency
- Know your zone. Visit the NC Department of Public Safety’s Know Your Zone webpage to view the areas most at risk of storm surges and flooding in Brunswick County.
- Create an evacuation plan. When planning where to evacuate, we recommend moving inland. Make sure to find a place to stay in advance that is outside of typical affected areas and that is not in flood-prone areas.
- Prepare an emergency kit. An emergency kit is vital for your survival in situations where help might not be easily accessible due to power outages, flooding, and road damage.
- Stay informed. During an emergency, stay tuned to reliable local media outlets and Brunswick County on Twitter, Facebook, and Nextdoor for continuous updates. You can also subscribe to receive email updates from the County to stay updated on media releases and important announcements.
- Sign up for the Access & Functional Needs Registry. Residents are strongly encouraged to sign up for the Brunswick County AFN Registry if they have additional needs in functional areas.
