By declaring a State of Preparedness, I am directing the Department of Emergency Management to coordinate the comprehensive preparation of State government ahead of potential impacts from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby,\u201d\u00a0<b>said Gov. Moore<\/b>.\u00a0\u201cResidents and visitors should monitor local weather forecasts, remain vigilant, and be prepared to follow safety instructions from local emergency officials.\u201dLast November, Governor Moore signed an executive order establishing a State of Preparedness, which enhanced the state&#8217;s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to potential hazards and threats in advance of an actual disaster. The order directs the Department of Emergency Management to coordinate the comprehensive preparation of state government ahead of potential impacts from hazards or threats, providing a vital layer of protection for Marylanders without necessitating a State of Emergency.<\/p>\n<p>The latest National Hurricane Center forecast for Tropical Storm Debby brings potential remnants into the Mid-Atlantic later this week and into the weekend. At this time, rain, heavy at times, and tidal flooding are the main threats. Uncertainty exists regarding the track over the Mid-Atlantic, which will greatly influence rainfall amounts.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the latest National Hurricane Center forecast, the main impacts would be later Thursday into Saturday. Impacts will be dependent upon how long Tropical Storm Debby sits on the Southeast U.S. Coast and tracks into the Mid-Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>Preparedness Recommendations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage your family and friends to finish preparedness activities now. Check on your neighbors, especially older adults or those who may need additional assistance, to make sure they have what they need. Have a plan to remain in contact during and after the storm.<\/li>\n<li>You may have to evacuate quickly due to a storm if you live in an evacuation zone.
