Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed a State of Preparedness Declaration ahead of any potential impacts from the tropical storm.
A State of Preparedness Declaration enhances the state's ability to swiftly and effectively respond to potential hazards and threats in an actual disaster.
Moore is asking Marylanders to plan, know their evacuation zones, charge their devices and pack their trunk with supplies.
"The safety of Marylanders is our top priority. By declaring a State of Preparedness, I am directing the Department of Emergency Management to coordinate the comprehensive preparation of State government ahead of potential impacts from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby," Moore said. "Residents and visitors should monitor local weather forecasts, remain vigilant, and be prepared to follow safety instructions from local emergency officials."
Businesses and homeowners in flood-prone Fells Point packed up sandbags.
But at least one Fells Point business owner said they will remain open rain or shine.
