    Duke Energy prepares for Tropical Storm Debby in the Carolinas; encourages customers to plan ahead | Duke Energy

    August 5, 20243 Mins Read


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy Carolinas is monitoring and preparing for the approaching tropical storm-like weather expected mid to late week.

    While the storm’s projected path is not yet fully known, conditions are favorable for heavy rain and strong winds, which could lead to widespread outages. The company plans to have more than 6,100 skilled workers strategically placed and ready to respond as the storm moves through the Carolinas.

    “We are closely monitoring weather conditions and are making preparations to respond quickly and safely if needed,” said Jason Hollifield, Duke Energy Carolinas storm director. “While the storm’s path is still uncertain, we encourage our customers to plan in advance.”

    Below are some recommended safety and preparedness tips before a storm: 

    • Create (or update) an emergency supply kit to save valuable time later. The kit should include everything an individual or family would need for at least two weeks, especially medicines, water, non-perishable foods and other supplies that might be hard to find after a storm hits. 

    • Keep a portable radio or TV or a NOAA weather radio on hand to monitor weather forecasts and important information from state and local officials. 

    • Charge cellphones, computers and other electronic devices in advance of storms to stay connected to important safety and response information. Consider purchasing portable chargers and make sure they are fully charged as well. 

    • Maintain a plan to move family members – especially those with special needs – to a safe, alternative location in case an extended power outage occurs, or evacuation is required.  

    • Pet owners should arrange to stay at evacuation shelters that accept pets; friends’ or family members’ homes; or pet-friendly hotels. 

    • Additionally, customers are encouraged to download the enhanced American Red Cross Emergency app for weather safety. The latest version of the app, sponsored by the Duke Energy Foundation, is free, available in both English and Spanish and offers a variety of features including emergency checklists, interactive maps of open shelters and the ability to monitor multiple locations for weather alerts.
