Gov. Stein fears uncertainty for NOAA & FEMAâs future amid federal cuts, urges NC to get prepared for hurricane season
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - On Thursday, Gov. Josh Stein and emergency management officials shared an update on hurricane season in North Carolina.
As questions surround the future of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) amid the Trump Administrationâs federal cuts, Gov. Stein said the state is going into the 2025 hurricane season with more uncertainty than usual.
âCuts to NOAA and FEMA are a man-made disaster,â Stein told the press Thursday. âWe need these critical agencies to help us anticipate and respond to natural disasters.â
It comes as NOAAâs 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook predicts an above-normal season, with up to 10 hurricanes, at most five being major.
In the wake of Hurricane Heleneâs destruction last September, the stateâs Emergency Management Director William Ray said the volume of needs out west has caused the state to re-evaluate its supply chain.
âThis yearâs hurricane season will look different,â Ray said. âAmid the uncertainties surrounding the federal role of disaster management and recovery programs, the state emergency response team both here at the state level and at the local emergency management level, as well as our partners, have remained focused on preparing for this hurricane season and other events that may be over the horizon this year.â
Stein said the state is focused on bringing lessons learned during Helene into this yearâs hurricane season, which started June 1.
Some of the stateâs priorities are improving communication and decreasing the spread of misinformation online.
Stein also stressed the importance of neighbors getting prepared for whatever the season brings.
âWhen federal resources arenât certain, personal and local preparedness becomes all that more important,â Stein said. âThe more you prepare, the more first responders can focus on keeping other people safe.â
How can I get prepared for hurricane season?
Senior Specialist Jason Fuller with New Hanover County Emergency Management said preparedness needs to be a year-long effort.
âThe best thing you can do is have a checklist and have an emergency plan,â Fuller said.
Neighbors know how easily storms can get out of control, especially after Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 caught the region by surprise in September.
Fuller said neighbors need to download the app Code Red to stay informed about emergencies and sign up for the countyâs emergency alert text system. Just text ReadyNHC to 24639 to receive the alerts.
âWhen you get an alert from us saying you need to evacuate your residence, thatâs a really bad time to come up with a plan,â he said.
As for an emergency kit, Fuller said items to consider are battery-powered lights, portable water, non-perishable food, important documents, and medication.
