Healthcare Ready's Releases on Chantal
Overview
Tropical Depression Chantal brought severe flooding to central North Carolina, with up to 10 inches of rain inundating homes, closing highways, and prompting water rescues. Tens of thousands lost power, and at least two tornadoes were confirmed as the storm downed trees and power lines and pushed rivers to near historic levels. As of Monday, the storm remnants were located about 70 miles east of Danville, Virginia, continuing a northeastward path. In the aftermath, rising temperatures are expected to bring highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s, with heat index values potentially reaching the triple digits across central and eastern North Carolina—posing added risks for communities still recovering without power or reliable access to cooling.

Healthcare Ready's Role during Chantal
Healthcare Ready works to monitor and evaluate the situation around the damage and provide analysis of its implications. We aim to provide information across sectors to supply information to all parties involved or impacted. Healthcare Ready is focusing efforts on highlighting challenges and supporting solutions to these challenges from the damages.
A part of monitoring during this time is through Rx Open. Rx Open provides information on the operating status of healthcare facilities in areas impacted by a disaster. When the map is active for an event, users can use the Facilities map to search for individual facility status such as pharmacies, community health centers, and dialysis centers.
