The event will include a presentation from a meteorologist with the National Weather Service on hurricanes and their effects on this part of the state.
“We will go over why you should never focus on just the category of the storm along with discussing all of the impacts any tropical cyclone can bring. We will cover the hurricane outlook for the season while emphasizing it only takes one storm to make an impact on your life,” NWS staff said.
Subsequent community forums are set for 11 a.m. Monday July 28, at the Greene County Senior Center, 104 Greenridge Road in Snow Hill, and at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 11, at the Jones County Civic Center, 832 N.C. Highway 58 in Trenton.
Register online to attend any of the three upcoming forums, which are free to attend and open to all.
The events will conclude with a community discussion and the opportunity to ask questions.
