All Town administrative offices will open at 11 am on Tuesday, August 4, 2020; however, we are strongly encouraging the public to conduct business with the Town either via the phone or online.
Be sure to read the information below from Dare County Emergency Management.
Our area will begin to see tropical storm impacts such as flooding and tornadoes overnight tonight. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts (text alerts, social media, NOAA weather radio). Be sure your phone is charged and your notifications are turned on.
If you are on the soundside in Nags Head, move your vehicles and other equipment to higher ground. Don’t be surprised by how high 2-4 feet above ground is.
Also, we expect the Nags Head to Manteo causeway/US 64 to flood at some point. Don't drive through floodwaters. Flooding is one of the deadliest types of hazards NC experiences. Stay safe and DO NOT walk on or drive onto water-covered roads. Entering a flooded area risks your life and the lives of people that may be sent to rescue you. When water rushes over a street, it can hide dips, debris, and pavement that has been washed away. In addition, just six inches of water can flood your car's exhaust, leaving you immobile.

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 at any time of day, and the nighttime hours are particularly dangerous since most folks are asleep. Keep Wireless Emergency Alerts enabled on your cell phone so you know if you’re in the path of a tornado. Find out more at https://www.ready.gov/alerts.

Make Final Preparations Prior to Onset of Storm Conditions

Hurricane Isaias
Bulletin #5
August 3, 2020
5:30 p.m.
Tropical storm force winds are expected to reach the Outer Banks this evening and bring ocean and soundside flooding along with a chance of tornadoes. Now is the time to make final preparations. Secure all outdoor furnishings, trash cans and any loose items.

Ocean overwash of 2 to 4 feet above normally dry ground is anticipated in vulnerable areas on Hatteras Island. Soundside flooding is expected in areas on the northern beaches that are impacted by southerly winds. Now is the time to move vehicles and other property in flood-prone areas to higher ground.

As weather conditions deteriorate overnight, avoid travel. Sand and water can quickly accumulate on roadways causing dangerous and impassable conditions.
With the risk of tornadoes for our area, be sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Keep your cell phone charged and turned on before you go to sleep. Be sure your wireless emergency alerts are enabled. If you receive a tornado warning, take action - shelter on the lowest floor in an interior room or hallway away from windows. For more information, visit ready.gov/safety/tornado.

A Tropical Storm Warning and Storm Surge Warning remain in effect for our area and a High Surf Advisory will become effective early Tuesday morning. It is important to continue to monitor the local forecast. For updated watches and warnings from the National Weather Service, visit www.weather.gov/mhx. Follow them on Twitter @NWSMoreheadCity.

Soundside water levels can be monitored at https://fiman.nc.gov/.

Be sure to sign up to receive emergency alerts directly from Dare County Emergency Management, if you have not already done so. Remember to complete your profile by including both a home and business address so you can be reached with emergency information for specific geographic areas. Visit www.darenc.com/alerts

Weather conditions are expected to improve by Tuesday morning, as the storm moves past and heads to the north-northeast. Damage assessments will be made as soon as conditions allow during daylight hours and local officials will provide an update regarding reentry to Hatteras Island on Tuesday afternoon, once the assessment is completed.
