RALEIGH — Disaster survivors can get tips and advice on how to rebuild stronger against future storm damage at Lowe’s Home Improvement in Lumberton from Tuesday through Feb. 1.

The workshops are scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at the store located at 5060 Fayetteville Road.

Federal Emergency Management Agency mitigation specialists will be present to answer questions about home repair, making disaster plans, putting together supply kits and the importance of flood insurance.

Mitigation is the effort to reduce the loss of life and property damage by lessening the effect of future disasters.

More mitigation events will take place at home improvement stores in disaster-affected North Carolina counties in the coming weeks.
