"Widespread snowfall is forecast across the state with locally significant snow accumulations expected for portions of eastern NC."
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect beginning Friday afternoon or early overnight Friday for much of NC where significant snowfall is forecast over the weekend.

Another thing that will need to be addressed in the next piece of legislation is explicit authority for the NC Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR) to begin CDBG-DR eligible activities. It is only NC Emergency Management that is named here.

This is a breakdown of some of those funds. What I am hearing is that based on early assessments, we are expecting a federal CDBG-DR allocation along the scale of Hurricane Florence likely to exceed $500m.

The NCGA is dropping legislation tomorrow that responds to a number of immediate Hurricane Helene needs, including setting aside $250m for relief efforts.
We’ll need more when we know more, and absent from this bill is any mention of eviction relief.

A disaster recovery infrastructure that was in place in 1999 when Hurricane Floyd hit NC was gutted by the NCGA in 2014. That meant that when Hurricane Matthew hit us in 2016, we had to build an infrastructure in the middle of a recovery.

That is now 3 generational storms that have hit NC in less than a decade - Hurricanes Matthew, Florence, and now Helene.

I chair the Housing Recovery Support Function of the NC State Disaster Recovery Taskforce. We meet later this week to coordinate amongst agencies as we begin to plan for longterm recovery. We don't understand the full impact, but recovery will be long.

We are still in active rescue mode in NC after Hurricane Helene. The loss of both cell phone coverage as well as access to most of the roads out West is making rescue efforts particularly difficult.

This disaster is ongoing in Western NC, and by all accounts devastating. The impacts to communities will be long-lasting.

From NCDOT:
🚨All roads in Western NC should be considered closed🚨

They're predicting flooding on a scale of the 1916 flooding out in Western NC. I've been texting with friends and colleagues out that way who are already fighting water form the rain earlier this week before the storm even hits. Stay safe out there y'all.
