Hurricane Season Is Although it's tourist season at the coast and almost everyone's invited, there are some visitors, hur ricanes, who are downright unwelcome. The hurricane season becan the first of June and will run through November, but most hur ricanes can be expected in August, September and October. ; With their forceful per sonalities, hurricanes usual ly seem to get their way, employing millions of tons of water hurled at colossal speeds. In the 'face of a power so great, man seems pretty insignificant. , But helpless, he is not. In the sub-basement of the Administration Building in Raleigh, Civil Preparedness (CP) officials work throughout the year in an ticipation of the days that breed tropical storms and hurricanes in the Caribbean and Atlantic. Their offices surround the State Emergency Operating Room, where the huge lighted map board displays recent hurricane history and the path and direction of any current tropical storm. For Civil Preparedness this is. a landmark year in helping communities prepare : for the storms. They have just published their prototype hurricane evacuation plan. The plan is the result of years of study, observation, and writing, and will form the basis for hurricane plans for counties most threatened by the storms from the sea. These counties include: Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Hyde, Martin, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pas quotank, Pender, Per quimans, Tyrrell, and Washington. CP planners have visited emergency ser vice personnel in the coastal counties, familiarizing them with the prototype and help ing them draw up their own specialized plans. State Civil Preparedness Coordinator David Britt is pleased that the plan is be ing distributed right at the beginning of the season. "With the Dooming popula tion and unprecedented numbers of tourists at the coast," he said, "there is impetus to local planners to standardize hurricane plans in accordance with our prototype, while allowing for the special needs of in dividual communities. Our idea is to make emergency procedures more efficient to help ensure the safety of the people and property at the coast. In conjunction with our Disaster Relief and Assistance Plan, the new Continuing hurricane plan will also make it easier when it comes time for federal disaster aid applications." ' The National Weather Service has announced that changing weather patterns might make North Carolina especially susceptible to the big storms this season. It is of the greatest importance that families and in dividuals be familiar with the basic precautions. If the announcement comes for you to evacuate, do not delay. You should have sufficient time to leave the endangered area, but there will be little margin for hesitation. Evacuation of coastal low-lying areas is the primary element to hur ricane safety. David Britt urges that coastal residents and visitors take these three steps immediately: (1) plan a safe evacuation route; (2) learn the elevation of your property above mean sea level; and (3) learn the storm surge history for your area. Storm surge is the giant dome of water striking the coast near the eye. It is by far the most dangerous threat to lives during a hurricane. Britt further suggests that everyone who intends to be in a hurricane-prone area this summer and fall read Local People In The Ne ws Mr. and Mrs. Jim Presley of Raleigh were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. W.F.

Enter each hurricane season prepared. Every June through November, recheck your supply of boards tools, batteries, nonperishable foods, and the other equipment you will need when a hurricane strikes your town. 2. When you hear the first tropical storm or hurricane advisory, listen for future messages; this will prepare you for a hurricane emergency well in advance of the issuance of watches and warnings. 3. When your area is covered by a hurricane watch, continue normal ac tivities, but stay tuned to radio or television for all National Weather Service advisories. Remember, a hurricane watch means You can't really beat the heat. Whether it's the heat or the humidity, or both, it's hot in almost all of the United States in July. After weeks of sweating and steaming, it's not uncom mon to find the heat is begin ning to wear you down. You can't do anything about the outside temperature. You can avoid it if you're fortunate enough to work and live in air conditioned comfort, but it still will be hot outside. possible danger within 24 hours; if the danger materializes, a hurricane warning will be issued. Meanwhile, keep alert, ignore rumors. 4. When your area receives a hurricane warning: Plan your time before the storm arrives and avoid the last-minute hurry which might leave you marooned, or unprepared. Keep calm until the emergency has ended. Leave low-lying areas that may be swept by high tides or storm waves well in advance of the hurricane. If you plan to evacuate, evacuate early. Leave mobile homes for more substantial shelter. They are particularly vulnerable to overturning during strong winds. n i Th PrqultnantWeefcly, Hertford, N,C.
