There is no charge to attend the family-friendly event that organizers say offers a “comprehensive resource event for hurricane preparedness ahead of hurricane season,” which is June 1 to Nov. 30.
Carteret County Emergency Services, Carteret County government, and the U.S. National Weather Service’s Newport office are coordinating the expo.
“Preparing for hurricane season is a community effort,” County Emergency Management Coordinator Aaron Stryker said in a release. “This expo provides residents with the tools and knowledge they need to protect themselves and their families.”
The expo will feature information booths and presentations starting throughout the event from meteorologists, emergency managers, county staff, and key community organizations, such as the Salvation Army and local volunteer groups.
Warning Coordination Meteorologist Erik Heden will kick off the talks with his presentation, “Preparedness for Hurricane Season 2025,” at 9:30 a.m., and will speak again at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
