Severe Weather Preparedness Week: 

March 3 - 8, 2025

Severe Weather Preparedness Week is recognized from Sunday, March 2, 2025 through Saturday, March 8, 2025. Visit the National Weather Service's Severe Weather Preparedness Week website for important preparedness tips and information. It's crucial for everyone to be ready for the impacts of severe weather, no matter what the season.

Here are a few local tips for staying informed and being fully prepared as North Carolina’s 2025 Severe Weather Preparedness Week is being observed:

• Sign Up for OBX Alerts: Sign up to receive customized emergency alerts—including severe weather watches and warnings, public safety and emergency-related warnings, countywide evacuation orders and other time-critical notifications—via the OBX Alerts platform by visiting www.OBXAlerts.com.
• Always Have Multiple Ways to Receive Alerts: It’s important for your safety to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Some storms, or other events, may occur when you are sleeping. Have at least one device that will wake you up at night. Ensure your phone receives Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) messages. Wireless Emergency Alerts are sent only during an emergency and based on your location. Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide.
• Monitor Rising Water Levels: Sign up to receive alerts if water levels in your area begin to rise due to storm surge, which can occur on both the soundside and oceanside of communities throughout Dare County. Visit www.FIMAN.NC.gov and select the flood gauge(s) located in the waterways you’d like to monitor in real time.
• Obtain Your 2025 Reentry Permit: In order to enter Dare County following a mandatory evacuation that has been issued to ensure public safety, individuals must present a current reentry permit* (along with a valid corresponding ID) and follow a staged reentry process. For more detailed information—and to obtain your 2025 reentry permit—please visit www.DareNC.gov/Reentry.

*Please note that expired reentry permits from previous years will not be accepted. No one will be denied entry with proper identification. All Dare County residents are welcome to apply for a reentry permit; however, a valid ID that contains a Dare County address is sufficient on its own for local residents, and a reentry permit is not necessary for these individuals to obtain.
