GUILFORD COUNTY -- North Carolina is preparing for another bout with a tropical system this weekend. Floods, power outages, stranded storm victims -- emergency agencies across the state are preparing for whatever comes their way.

"You'll see information being passed amongst agencies, radio communications… it'll just be a whirlwind of things going," said Guilford County Emergency Management Coordinator Ron Campbell.

Campbell is talking about the Guilford County Emergency Operations Center. Law enforcement, fire, and EMS have all kinds of technology at their fingertips in that room to coordinate how to best respond to damage areas.

"We can post information, keep people informed and they can make those decisions for their agencies," Campbell added.

With the May 8 tornadoes, last weeks storms, and now more than one tropical system eyeing the Carolinas, emergency coordinators say they’re on constant alert these days.

”We were over here [at a map] pinpointing particular areas, it gives us a better idea of exactly where we need to pinpoint our resources," Campbell explained.

Emergency management officials around the state are doing twice a day conference calls with other agencies like the National Weather Service and the National Guard at 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Burlington Emergency Management Director Chip Ferguson says they're discussing storm readiness with various city departments on those calls.

"We ask them to do a checklist on their equipment, supplies, check their staffing levels, make sure that they would be okay on that," Ferguson said.

And since storms have a mind of their own, Ferguson says they'll continue to monitor every twist and turn.

"As a storm threatens us and the risk increases, we will up staff and put people in place."

Emergency management officials say you can help them by taking responsibility of your own safety and having a plan. In doing that, they say they can better respond to more emergencies during disaster situations.
