BRUNSWICK COUNTY — Area officials in a nearby county want to hear feedback from residents on how response to an unnamed storm went at the end of last summer.
Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 landed in southeastern North Carolina on Sept. 16, 2024 and brought with it up to 20 inches of rain. It collapsed many roadways in Brunswick County and left motorists stranded along Highway 17 for hours on end. This included Brunswick County government and schools workers who were at work upon the storm’s arrival.
The county is asking people who live, work or commute to the county to answer a survey by May 1, 2025. The survey is being conducted by Brunswick County’s PTC #8 After Action Committee, which will utilize the information to improve storm preparedness, recovery strategies and the like for future storms and hurricanes.
The survey consists of HOW MANY questions, including basics of affiliation to Brunswick County — whether as a resident or commuter — how many storms or hurricanes one has experienced in the area, the level of preparedness one had for PTC8, how disruptive it was post-storm, whether one had to relocate due to damage and more.
The survey can be taken here.
