Governor Josh Stein of North Carolina has issued an executive order aimed at addressing the heating needs of residents as temperatures drop. The order temporarily waives federal restrictions on driving hours for those transporting propane and other heating fuels. This measure is intended to expedite the delivery of these essential materials to individuals affected by winter weather and Hurricane Helene.

Governor Stein emphasized the importance of ensuring that citizens have access to necessary heating resources during this challenging time. "As we face plummeting temperatures, we must ensure that North Carolinians who have been impacted by winter weather and Hurricane Helene maintain an adequate supply of heating fuels," said Governor Stein. "We’ll continue to use every tool at our disposal to keep people safe and help them recover from Hurricane Helene."

The executive order reflects the state's commitment to safeguarding its residents against harsh weather conditions while facilitating recovery efforts in the aftermath of recent natural events.
