California residents are being urged to prepare for extreme weather events, including wildfires, flash flooding, and drought. The National Weather Service (NWS) advises residents to develop evacuation kits, establish family communication plans, and consider flood insurance. While the state remains drought-free, some areas in the north and southeast are considered 'abnormally dry'. In North Carolina, a small portion is experiencing 'severe drought'. California Flood Preparedness Week aims to raise awareness and encourage preparedness for potential flooding. The NWS emphasizes the importance of having evacuation plans, emergency kits, and flood insurance.
