Rapid Cold is Coming this Weekend–What’s your Risk?

Grey is anything but dull--it means you can breathe a sigh of relief!

Rapid Cold can be catastrophic for your health and safety and well-being, and it’s tough to adapt when you don’t know what your risk is! However, you’re not helpless and without a clue thanks to FEMA’s Rapid Cold map: https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/cold-wave

As you can see, most sections of North Carolina are safe from a serious cold wave, although Virginia is supposedly fine as well and we saw how well that worked out for them a few weeks ago.

Nevertheless, cold waves are in season and can happen with little warning. It’s important to pay attention to the weather as you will generally have only a day or two to change plans, avoid travel, and stock up on supplies for the coming cold wave so you stand a better chance of making it through in one piece!
