Hurricane Season is Here — Are You Ready?
Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30. No matter how much we try to be safe and prepare for the worst, natural and even man-made disasters locally and nationally can take us by surprise and distract and concern us at home or work.
Whether a crisis involves one member of the organization or the entire workforce, the emotional impact can touch everybody, impairing work performance, morale, physical health, and psychological well-being.
We all hope for a mild storm season. But just in case, here are some resources to help State Health Plan members prepare for the worst, cope during an event and recover afterwards.
- Download the Ready NC app or visit ReadyNC.org to follow weather updates and learn about how you can prepare for a storm.

State Health Plan members who experience ongoing disruption in their ability to cope after an event can contact Beacon Health Options 24/7 at 800-367-6143 to request a telephonic assessment and referral to a provider that can help.
