#ReadyWake

Wake County Emergency Management has developed the ReadyWake program to help you and your family prepare for possible disasters.

[#ReadyWake @ReadyWake]

Know when to seek heat elsewhere.....The bitter cold temperatures could cause significant challenges if power goes out. If you don't have a heat source or way to stay warm through power outages, go EARLY before the roads get dangerous.

[Wake County Government @WakeGOV]

#WakeCounty emergency shelters are now OPEN.

The shelters are animal friendly, they include:

Southeast Raleigh High School
2600 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh

Heritage High School
1150 Forestville Road, Wake Forest

Alright friends, Wake County is opening TWO shelters this afternoon at 3pm. If you don't have heat in your home or don't have the resources you need for your family if the power goes out during this storm, please go BEFORE the roads get bad this evening.

Ice, ice baby… ❄️🧊 but not the vanilla kind.
We’re talking major ice storm vibes this weekend. Stock up now, stay off the roads later, and please don’t test your car’s figure-skating skills.

[#ReadyWake @ReadyWake]

Can someone tell us why when there is snow in the forecast, the first things you buy are all the bread and milk?

[Wake County Government @WakeGOV]

We are aware of reported outages with some cellular providers across the country.

If you are experiencing issues with your cellular service and cannot get through to 911, please try calling using Wi-Fi services or a landline, or have a friend, family member or neighbor make the call for you.

[Wake County Government @WakeGOV]

It's #NationalPreparednessMonth! Has your family ever talked about your emergency plan? 🤔

#PreparednessStartsAtHome. Make sure everyone in your family knows what to do during different kinds of emergencies. Consider how power outages, damaged roads and lost internet connection could impact your plan. 👨‍👩‍👦 ❤️

Let's NOT be like this driver in #CharlotteNC

Flood waters can be extremely dangerous to drive through. In fact, most flood related drownings happen in cars driving through flood waters.

TURN AROUDN, DON'T DROWN!

@NWSRaleigh @raleighpolice

[WCNC Charlotte @wcnc]

TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN! Our crews were live at the scene in the Chevy Storm Tracker as a driver tried to keep going on a flooded road in the Steele Creek area. Watch as an officer chased them down.

We're streaming live updates to help you stay Weather Impact Alert on WCNC+

[#ReadyWake @ReadyWake]

Hurricane season just started—and we’re asking:
If a storm hit tomorrow, would you be ready?
Let’s change “I’ll do it later” to “I’ve got this.”
✅ Make a plan
✅ Build a kit
✅ Stay informed
