As a precaution, Granville County Government declared a State of Emergency effective this morning, September 12, 2018. This is a measure that allows government officials to enact specific emergency plans and to take additional measures to move resources more freely to ensure the safety of our citizens.
In order to allow Granville County employees time to take care of their personal property and prepare for the potential impacts of this storm, Granville County offices will close at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 13 and will remain closed on Friday, September 14 due to impending inclement weather. The libraries will close on Saturday and Sunday also.
The 5 a.m. advisory now indicates the storm may come on shore at the NC/SC border and track along our southern NC border or just south of the border. A word of caution at this point, though….do not get confident of a lesser impact to our area.
