The Executive Order will coordinate and support emergency response operations among North Carolina entities and officials to ensure the protection and safety of North Carolina residents.

This emergency declaration will help facilitate getting the needed resources to combat these wildfires, to save lives and property, and to support our local jurisdictions and agencies, as well as state partners who are engaged in fighting these fires.” said Will Ray, Director of North Carolina Emergency Management. “We are incredibly proud of the North Carolina Forest Service, local fire departments, and the US Forest Service who have stepped up to combat these fires and protect our state.” Read Executive Order No. 293 here. ### RELATED TOPICS: Disaster Recovery * Governor's Office CONTACT Jordan Monaghan govpress@nc.gov (919) 814-2100 CONTACT INFORMATION North Carolina Office of the Governor 20301 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-0301 (919) 814-2000 Email the Governor FOLLOW US * Facebook * Twitter * Instagram * Medium NETWORK MENU * nc.gov * Website Feedback * Accessibility * Disclaimer & Terms of Use * Privacy Policy * Open Budget Hosted on Digital Commons
