Hurricane preparedness and recovery efforts are as effective as the communication used to inform communities in potentially impacted areas of North Carolina. Recognizing gaps in outreach and access to information, an ongoing collaborative effort is working to better educate and prepare communities for natural disasters through agricultural assessments. Initial findings from this work are shared below in a series of educational infographics developed through the DHHS 2025 Hurricane Recovery and Resiliency Project Needs Assessment for Sampson County. Please see the attached materials.

The findings provide valuable insight to help guide disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. Please share and disseminate these resources through your network and Extension community as you see fit. Printed copies of the infographic are available in both English and Spanish upon request. See contact info below.

Assessment background: In the fall of 2024, NC Farmworker Health Program (NCFHP) administered a needs assessment with farmworkers in Sampson County, NC. The needs assessment was designed in partnership by the NC Environmental Public Health Tracking (NCEPHT) Program, NC Farmworker Health Program, NC DPH Public Health Preparedness and Response Branch, and NC State Cooperative Extension and aimed to gain an understanding of how farmworkers receive information regarding hurricane preparedness and recovery. NCFHP conducted interviewer-administered surveys with 98 farmworkers. Most of those who were interviewed (n = 87) had experienced a hurricane in the last 8 years.
