Strengthening North Carolina's Disaster Resilience

Understanding the Importance of Disaster Resilience

As we continue to face an increasing number of natural disasters, it has become clear that disaster resilience is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The devastating effects of Hurricane Florence in 2018 and other recent events have highlighted the importance of being prepared for such emergencies.

In North Carolina, we have seen firsthand the impact of these disasters on our communities, from property damage to loss of life. It is crucial that we take proactive steps to strengthen our disaster resilience and ensure the well-being of our citizens.

NCDOI's Role in Disaster Resilience

As the North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI), our agency plays a critical role in promoting disaster resilience. We work closely with state and federal agencies, as well as private sector partners, to develop and implement strategies that mitigate the impact of disasters.

Our efforts focus on ensuring that individuals and businesses have access to necessary resources and information to prepare for and recover from disasters.

What You Can Do to Strengthen Disaster Resilience

While government agencies like NCDOI play a crucial role in promoting disaster resilience, individual actions can also make a significant difference. By taking proactive steps such as creating emergency plans and securing homes, we can significantly reduce the risk of damage and loss.

We encourage all North Carolinians to take this responsibility seriously and work together with us to build a more resilient state.
