Moore County Public Safety

Heat Advisory in Effect today June 23, 2024 for parts of Central NC . Max Heat Indices will range from 100 to 105 degrees.

Last week Moore County Public Safety participated in the 2024 U.S. Open in Pinehurst by providing oncourse medical coverage to attendees. We thank these men and women for their dedication and perseverance during harsh weather conditions while answering hundreds of calls for service. Your bravery and selflessness are truly inspiring.

Upcoming weekend extreme heat.

Temperatures and humidity values will increase this weekend into early next week, with Sunday and Monday currently posing the greatest risk for heat-related illnesses as heat index values potentially climb into the low 100s across much of the state. Those planning to spend time outdoors should remember to practice heat safety and remain hydrated.

What should you do during extreme heat?
Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of fluids. Encourage others to drink plenty of fluids, too. Replace salt and minerals with snacks or a sports drink.

Stay Cool. Stay in an air-conditioned place as much as possible. Wear lightweight loose clothing and take cool showers or baths.

Limit your outdoor activity. If you must work outdoors, schedule tasks earlier or later in the day.

Thanks to State Farm agent Ward Roland and Kim Conyers State Farm Corporate Responsibility, for the Fire Prevention Kits.

It is with great sadness that the Moore County Public Safety regrets to announce the passing of 911 Telecommunicator, John Frye. For more than 12 years John faithfully served the citizens of Moore County ensuring they received the help they needed during their emergency as well as communicating vital information to first responders that were responding. John will be greatly missed by all those who worked along side of him in the dispatch center and by those who had the privilege to rely on him for vital information over the radio during emergencies. Moore County Public Safety asks that you please keep John’s family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers during the upcoming days and weeks.
