State University and Colorado State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dare County Emergency Management Director Drew Pearson told Coastal Review in an email that he echoed National Weather Service Director \u201cKen Graham\u2019s statement in the NOAA release where he says \u2018This outlook is a call to action: be prepared. Take proactive steps now to make a plan and gather supplies to ensure you\u2019re ready before a storm threatens\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graham\u2019s \u201cwords are true even when the predictions are for a less active season. No matter how many storms are being predicted, everyone needs to be prepared for that one storm that will put them in harm\u2019s way,\u201d Pearson continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would be remiss if I didn\u2019t encourage everyone to never focus on just the category of a tropical storm,\u201d he said. \u201cAny storm system is dangerous and can bring life threatening impacts from storm surge, rainfall flooding, wind, tornadoes and rip currents.
