With Christmas right around the corner, Governor Roy Cooper and North Carolina Emergency Management (NCEM) will once again be monitoring Santa’s progress as he approaches North Carolina. The Governor has instructed NCEM to prepare the state for Santa’s arrival so that he can safely complete his mission of delivering presents to children across North Carolina.
“Ensuring that Santa can deliver presents all over the world in just one night requires detailed planning, strong coordination among elves, reindeer and government officials, and a dash of Christmas magic,” said Governor Cooper. “Children across North Carolina should rest assured that we’re doing our part to help Santa reach them this Christmas.”
NCEM is in contact with North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to receive up-to-the-minute updates regarding Santa’s status and progress in North Carolina. Emergency Management is on standby to provide Santa with additional resources for him and his reindeer during the journey, including:
• Milk & cookies
• Hot chocolate
• Fresh carrots for the Reindeer
