Good morning, High Point.

Duke Energy is preparing for hurricane season by upgrading its power grid with a self-healing system that reroutes power for quicker restoration across Forsyth County and the Triad; the company also plans infrastructure investments and rate increases while funding emergency projects, including a mobile shelter unit in Winston-Salem.

Triad officials have boosted preparations for hurricane season, which began Monday, June 1 — updating emergency protocols and community resources to stay ready for severe storms.

They are maintaining heightened alert as weather conditions evolve.
