The County of Vance and the City of Henderson have declared a State of Emergency due to the current weather conditions. The State of Emergency includes a curfew that begins at 9PM tonight and ends at 6AM tomorrow morning.
The purpose of the curfew is due to power outages, road conditions, and the possibility of more falling trees/branches/and ice. These conditions can, especially at night, cause grave danger to our citizens and to the emergency workers.
The curfew does not apply to emergency personnel who are responding to calls, essential health care workers, utility repair workers, or any who is required to report to their place of work during the posted hours.
Thank you for your cooperation.
