Attention Red & Green Sanitation Routes - Hurricane Isaias Trash Collection Schedule Change

Because Isaias is forecasted to begin impacting our area late Monday night and early Tuesday, August 4, 2020, trash collection on Nags Head’s red and green sanitation routes, which normally occurs on Tuesdays, will take place this week on Wednesday, August 5, 2020.

Trash Collection Schedule Information

Tornadoes Can Occur Well Ahead and Away from Center of Isaias

With Tropical Storm Isaias expected to make landfall in South Carolina and track north over inland eastern NC Monday night and Tuesday morning, there is an increased threat for tornadoes in our area. Again, pay close attention to weather forecasts. Keep your cell phone charged and make sure it is set to receive emergency alerts. It is also a good idea to listen to NOAA Weather Radio to keep informed.

Soundside Flooding

Water levels along the sound are already high in many places, particularly from Manteo to Kitty Hawk. Expect soundside flooding in low lying areas, at spots that are impacted by southerly winds. Make preparations for up to 3 feet of water above the ground in these areas. Please move equipment and vehicles to higher ground if you are in an area prone to soundside flooding.

Real time soundside water levels can be observed at https://fiman.nc.gov/.

Impacts from storms like Isaias may not yet be visible, but rip currents can appear well before other hazards such as wind and rain. Just be sure you know what to do if you get caught in the grip of a rip. For more information, visit lovethebeachrespecttheocean.com.

No Additional Protective Measures Ordered at This Time; Mandatory Evacuation for Hatteras Island Remains in Effect

Hurricane Isaias
Bulletin #2
August 2, 2020
10:00 a.m.
Local officials met Sunday morning to receive an update from the National Weather Service. Based on the current forecast, no additional protective measures are being implemented at this time. While an evacuation order is not anticipated, it is imperative for everyone to keep their guard up and pay close attention to updated weather forecasts from the National Weather Service because the Outer Banks will experience impacts.

Dare County remains under a State of Emergency with mandatory evacuation orders in effect for Hatteras Island (Hurricane Evacuation Zone A), including the villages of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras Village. These orders will remain in place until after the storm passes due to the vulnerability of Highway 12 and the fact that it is the only road that provides access to and from the island. Some vulnerable spots along Highway 12 on Hatteras Island are already experiencing minor ocean overwash during periods of high tide.

As the storm tracks west of the Outer Banks and winds increase late Monday, storm surge inundation is expected to produce ocean overwash and soundside flooding of 1 to 2 feet above normally dry ground, and up to 3 feet in some areas.
