I Hurricane Awareness
Q: You've printed information about what to do
in case of a tornado. How can I get information
H about what to do in case of a hurricane?
I A: Basically, people who live in Winston-Salem
don't have to worry about hurricanes. That is
because hurricanes are storms which form over
large bodies of water and are not threatening unless
they approach occupied land. However, hurricanes,
have been known to travel hundreds of miles inland
after they strike the coast.

of Crime Control and Public Safety in Raleigh, the
