WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As Hurricane Irene makes landfall in North Carolina and continues to move up the East Coast, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its federal partners have teams and commodities pre-staged in states up and down the East Coast, to ensure state, tribal and local officials have the resources they need for immediate response efforts. FEMA continues to encourage all those living in Irene's path to finalize preparations for severe weather, monitor news and weather reports, and closely follow the instructions of state and local officials.
